Book synopsis: Once you drive up the New Jersey turnpike with Chuck Love and his escalating gun running scheme,
you'll be hooked till the end. Rounding out the crew of shady and self-centered characters are Apple, Chuck's high school crush now involve
with Big Zach, a cutthroat Sugar-daddy and Eyonna, Apple's roommate and sometimes-best friend. These four play out a scheme to make money that
takes them from the mean streets of Harlem to the backwoods of Kentucky and back again. In between there are reality glimpses of Harlem street life,
invitations to explore the hustler mentality and just enough mischief to set the pace toward a powerful ending. Folks of all walks of life will
find themselves learning a lesson or two for Pretty Ugly.
