“An auspicious debut.”
“The teen characters are strongly written and so damn appealing…the pages keep turning.”

“Hustle succeeds at what many authors attempt but ultimately fail to achieve: prose that is both gritty and gleaming, characters raw and still real, and a story that hustles your heart and gives it back to you.”
