"I've been waiting a long time for someone to explore the enigma that is Myrtle Beach. Kennedy has answered my prayers at last." —Brandon T. Snider, best-selling author of The Dark Knight Manual and writer/actor (Inside Amy Schumer, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Chappelle's Show)

“I’ve been recognized as an actor, director, and producer, but the first thing I identify as in my mind is a late-’90s Myrtle Beach bartender. I swear I’ve poured drinks for every character in Dirty Myrtle. Kennedy Weible nails the peculiar, hilarious chaos of that world in a way I could never describe to people. It’s a thrill ride full of wild, idiotic characters who stumble, trip, and accidentally crash their way toward redemption. That’s exactly how I remember the underbelly of the Grand Strand.” —Kevin Kane, actor, director & producer (Life & Beth, Law and Order: SVU, Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman)

“Dirty Myrtle is the kind of novel that settles into your bones without asking permission. Reading it felt less like following a tidy plot and more like stepping into a humid, half-lit corner of Myrtle Beach where everyone is carrying something they don’t quite know how to put down. [...] Overall, Dirty Myrtle is a thoughtful, character-driven novel that rewards patient readers. It’s a story about people caught between who they’ve been and who they might become, set against a backdrop that feels both sun-bleached and bruised. Readers who appreciate literary crime, complex women, and emotionally grounded storytelling will find a lot to admire here.” —Los Angeles Book Review
