In 2018, Hurley published the novel The Devoted. In the New York Times Book Review, critic Sharma Shields called the work an "intimate, fluid debut," and "as tender and fervent as a prayer".[2] Vogue called The Devoted "an assured and promising debut",[3] and Eliana Dockterman at Time Magazine called the work "terrifying but insightful".[4]
