Done Dirt Cheap by @sarahnicolelemon

5/5 stars

Official Synopsis:

Tourmaline Harris’s life hit pause at fifteen, when her mom went to prison because of Tourmaline’s unintentionally damning testimony. But at eighteen, her home life is stable, and she has a strong relationship with her father, the president of a local biker club known as the Wardens.

Virginia Campbell’s life hit fast-forward at fifteen, when her mom “sold” her into the services of a local lawyer: a man for whom the law is merely a suggestion. When Hazard sets his sights on dismantling the Wardens, he sends in Virginia, who has every intention of selling out the club—and Tourmaline.

But the two girls are stronger than the circumstances that brought them together, and their resilience defines the friendship at the heart of this powerful debut novel.

My thoughts:

UHM YES HI THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS THAT I HAVE READ ALL YEAR. I will be the first to admit that I did not expect a book about a motorcycle club to evoke much emotion from me, but that is EXACTLY what it did.

I started DONE DIRT CHEAP while on break at work and promptly regretted it because it was ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT. I seriously read maybe 20 pages on break and spent the entire rest of the day wishing I could just sneak into the bathroom to binge a few more pages. I am obsessed. I am so overwhelmed by the absolute perfection that is Done Dirt Cheap that I can barely sort out my jumbled up thoughts. This book is literally what dreams are made of.. I mean.. GIRL FRIENDSHIPS. UNPROBLEMATIC LOVE INTERESTS. GIRL BIKERS. GIRLS WITH GOALS. GIRLS TAKING DOWN SCUM BAGS. JUST.. GIRLS. Also - can we talk about that scene between Tourmaline and  Cash in the garage??? I AM SWOONING. 

I also love how high key feminist this book is and how it not only shows two powerful teenage girls taking down the worst type of men, but it also shows two teenage girls working past jealousy and mistrust to find a true friendship. I think its important, especially in YA, to show a friendship with girls that build each other up instead of tearing them down. “We’re friends because when girls – women – are alone in this world, they’re easier to pick off.” When I read this particular quote, it touched my soul. I cant tell you how many times I have been out with friends or at a concert and pretended to be friends with a girl just because she was alone and trying to avoid unwanted attention from men. Girls protecting other girls is a movement that I can get behind.

Basically, if you like high key feminist books with great story and POC love interests, this book is for you. Actually, even if that doesnt sound like your cup of tea - read this book. I think its something everyone should experience.

Millennials. 📱📷 This past weekend, I celebrated the wedding of two people incredibly dear to me alongside several other people who have become my family over the years. When I first moved down to North Carolina from New York City, I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. I had just left a job in publishing, was in an unfamiliar place, and knew no one. . Then one day, I was browsing teh interwebs and scrolling through the photos of other writers when I found a picture of a bar in my my town by an upcoming debut author. Her editor was a friend of mine from my days working in editorial, so I knew her work was bound to be amazing. (It was. And is.) Taking a chance, I decided to message her and asked if she wanted to meet up. . Her name was @roshanichokshi. . The universe works in mysterious ways. I don’t know if I believe in fate or destiny, but what I do know is that I’ve been incredibly lucky to find not only a friend, but a confidante, work wife, and little sister. I’m zealously protective of those I love, but thankfully @ashar33s was not only a wonderful person, but perfect for the woman I had come to know. I knew secondhand how difficult it was to become a doctor (and knew firsthand how difficult it is to be the partner of one) and it has been an incredible privilege to get to know the man to whom my friend would one day marry. . I have been blessed by a life full of love. It is a blessing I would bestow on @roshanichokshi and @ashar33s, only they have also brought love into my life. Congrats to you both, and may your life together be filled with laughter, joyous tears, rewards, and many, many other successes. 🥂 . . . . . #roshfindsaman #roshfoundaman #goodkarmalandsyouasharma #roshanichokshi #reneeahdieh #sarahnicolelemon #atlanta #wedding #toast #imneverthissentimentalonmain #consideryourselfluckyiloveyourosh #authorsofinstagram (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvuA6OMnXph/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=79xnml7b23b1
