“An irrepressible Florida frolic” Kirkus – starred review
“Masterfully crafted and wickedly funny, Paul Wilborn’s delightfully dark, comic adventure glitters with witty dialogue and crisp, clever prose. Wilborn’s tale of offbeat outsiders in search, in flight, and in love is an acerbic, delicious treat featuring the magnificent swampland of Florida in all its quirky glory.” – Natalie Symons, author of Lies In Bone
“Steeped in 1980s film and horror culture and basking in Palm Beach’s neon glow, Paul Wilborn’s rollicking ride of a novel – Florida Hustle – is fully immersive, wildly entertaining and as authentic as it gets.” – Steph Post, author of Miraculum, Lightwood, Walk in the Fire, Holding Smoke and A Tree Born Crooked
