Description

Hardcover, 327 pages, English language. Henri Haltiwanger can charm just about anyone. As a star debater and popular student at FATE academy, he's also the dutiful first-generation Haitian son of a wealthy New York City family. But his easy smiles mask a burning ambition to attend Columbia University. When Corinne Troy discovers Henri's less-than-honest dog-walking scheme, she blackmails him into helping her change her image at school. What starts as a mutual hustle turns into something more surprising than either of them bargained for. This novel is a sharply funny and insightful exploration of the countless hustles we have to keep from doing the hardest thing: being ourselves. A witty and engaging romantic comedy about identity, ambition, and the complexities of human relationships.
