Praise for Little White Lies

"What nail-biting fun! Little White Liesis millennial mayhem and magic. All I want to know is what's next"

This book is funny, smart and entertains the brain like few books do today. I highly recommend!"
Michael Render a.k.a. Killer Mike,"Rapper, Activist, and Entrepreneur

"Little White Liesis a compelling read based on an all too real possibility in today's teen world of social media."
Midwest Book Review

"Little White Lies is a hilarious, righteous, and page-turning coming-of-age story. Imagine Judy Blume meets Candace Bushnell meets Harper Lee all in one novel. You won't be able to put it down . . . and be sure to read the appendices!"
Dorian Warren, host of MSNBCs Nerding Out

"An over-the-top, ripped-from-the-headlines morality tale sure to be in demand by media-savvy teens familiar with Bey and Kanye, #BlackTwitter and white privilege, after-school altruism, and scam laptop donations to Africa. Todays brave new world demands more than just the three Rs; Baker and Hastie prove revenge and redemption are requirements, too."
