Trix by Stephanie Theobald
When charismatic hustler Ruby Rose meets Scarborough waitress Mo at a wake in a New Orleans diner, she offers to be Mo's guide on a road trip across America. Mousy Mo jumps at the chance, but it isn't long before she suspects that Ruby's insatiable thirst for adventure covers a deeper secret. What lies behind the mask of her charisma? In this daring, sharply funny novel, Mo discovers that tricks aren't just about sex -- that we all turn tricks in our own way...
