Vivica A. Fox is a dynamo who has created a lasting career on her own, through sheer, roll-up-your-sleeves DIY hustle. Every Day I'm Hustling is a personal book with a message Fox passionately believes in: that you make your own luck, that you never ever wake up in the morning thinking somebody's going to call you and offer you that part or ask you out on that date that's going to change your life, that you have to wake up and put on your longest eyelashes and fiercest heels and go out and make your life happen yourself.
The actress provides start-today strategies for success in business and "been there" lessons in love, buttressed with stories from her early family life all the way through to today. Always honest and always funny, Fox also tells behind-the-scenes tales from some of her biggest movies — such as Uma Thurman's life-changing advice during Kill Bill and Will Smith's downtime pep talk on Independence Day. And she maps out exactly what it took to come back with a role on the smash hit Empire and her own frisky show on Lifetime, Vivica's Black Magic. She also shares her how-is-she-53? secrets to looking your best, no matter the age on your driver's license.

Fox, who has starred in such blockbuster films as Independence Day and Kill Bill, presents a book of candid advice interwoven with examples from her life, as she seeks to demonstrate that the key to success is to keep hustling. The actress was born and raised in Indianapolis. Her strong relationship with her siblings and the example of her mother's hard work ethic kept her grounded as she sought a career in acting. Fox had limited success initially and worked multiple jobs, weathering the periodic disappointments that come with such a career. Counseled by Patti LaBelle, Will Smith, and Uma Thurman, among others, she learned that the capacity to bounce back and reinvent oneself is essential to survival in the entertainment business. This work doesn't maintain a clear structure, as it is not precisely a how-to nor a memoir. She detours in her recounting of a disastrous relationship with the rapper 50 Cent, which lacks a coherent lesson for the reader. VERDICT Fox's plainspoken prose is entertaining and her fans will appreciate her beauty tips, style secrets, and frankness about aging in Hollywood. Readers seeking inspiration for transformative change may be better served by Shonda Rhimes's Year of Yes.--Barrie Olmstead, Sacramento P.L.
