Hey hun! I saw your message and I just wanted to let you know there really is no book before work like hustler. The other book people are talking about was my first book I wrote on wattpad (which I personally think sucks but meh, I can't find myself to delete it), called Playing the Bad Boy's Game which is a story about Jessie's parents. You don't have to read that book to understand work like a hustler and it is a complete different genre, the ptbbg book a humour, teenfic and romance story.
