About The Book Hurry Up & Wait is an up-close and personal memoir about a young man's destructive path of instant gratification and impulsive behavior. While most memoirs center their theme around the subject's journey to success, Hurry Up & Wait focuses on Kevin's quest to simplify his life by first learning how to hold himself accountable for the things that are happening to him. Kevin's story will make you laugh, cry, and sometimes cringe, but don't you dare for one moment feel sorry for him. The success of a man should always be measured by the content of his heart.
