"We're friends because when girls - women - are alone in this world, they're easier to pick off." 
 Tourmaline Harris's mother went to prison when she was fifteen, partly due to an unintentional mistake on Tourmaline's own part. Now, at age eighteen, Tourmaline's life seems stable - on the surface. As the daughter of the president of the Wardens, a motorcycle club, Tourmaline has never been able to outgrow her father's reach or shadow. She uses her innocent looks to her advantage, putting up a facade for the rest of the world when it comes to her family and the club. 
 Eighteen-year-old Virginia Campbell's mother sold her into the services of a corrupt lawyer, Hazard, when she was a little girl. For years Virginia has entered pageants, peddled drugs, and done whatever Hazard has asked her to do. When Hazard asks Virginia to infiltrate the Wardens to break up the club, she realizes that the only way to do this is to become friends with Tourmaline. 
 What follows is a series of adventures, revelations and an unexpected friendship between two girls struggling to make a place in an uncertain world. 
 Sarah Nicole Lemon's writing is sharp and gorgeous, each word chosen with care and precision. Lemon gets right into the heads of Tourmaline and Virginia, beautifully revealing the raw vulnerability under each character's facade. I loved reading Cash and Jason's stories. The descriptions of motorcycle club culture fascinated me as well. 
 Highly recommended for readers who take their YA fiction with dose of action, a pinch of grit and a shot so complex that you'll be assessing the flavor for days to come - and return for a second read.
