We're so thrilled (but not surprised) that Willy Vlautin's book Don't Skip Out on Me is one of the five finalists for the 2019 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.

Don't Skip Out on Me was also one of eleven books selected for the ALA RUSA Notable Books List for Fiction! Click here for details and to see the full list of selections.
We are big fans of Willy's. Every one of his books is a gem. Understated and powerful stories that will tear at your heartstrings but also make you see the beauty in everyday life.
