[8]Though its first-person narrating voice is fast-paced, powerful
and unquestionably authentic, HICK is a debut novel.
Beyond this voice, what makes the book so extraordinary is that,
although all of the worst things imaginable do befall this
13-year-old girl, she is never defeated by them. Luli always fights
back; she always resurfaces.
Set as a coming-of-age novel, HICK tracks the real perils that
modern teenagers so often face. And it does so with bright wit,
energy, and an indomitable spirit.
This is a book that will grab the reader from the first page and
not let go.
And it is written by a woman who is becoming a cultural force in
the hippest parts of Los Angeles.
