The High Value Hustle: (And Other Lies) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798196237898)

When a divorced Houston realtor calls into a viral dating podcast for advice, she accidentally becomes the face of a national conversation about "high value" men, modern relationships, and the internet's obsession with ranking people.

Within days, the phrase used to describe her - "cute in context" - explodes across social media. Memes, podcasts, T-shirts, think pieces, and strangers suddenly turn Nya Carter's private life into public entertainment.

Now everybody has an opinion.

Her teenage son becomes school-famous overnight. Her ex-husband is dragged into online debates about masculinity. Men approach her because they recognize her. Women project their own frustrations onto her. And somewhere beneath the jokes, hashtags, and viral clips, Nya begins to realize something unsettling:

Nobody online actually knows each other anymore.

Sharp, funny, and painfully current, The High Value Hustle is a smart social satire about dating, attention, image, and the business of going viral.
