Over the last several weeks, DON'T EVER GET OLD has been collecting accolades.

Publishers Weekly says it's an "excellent debut" with "wickedly funny dialogue."

Kirkus called it a "sardonically appealing debut" that will "make readers laugh out loud."

Booklist says it's "a knockout of a book" that "reveals its secrets with perfect timing."

There are stars on all three of those reviews, which is a rare thing, and a big deal. So, I am fairly pleased with myself.

HUGE congrats to you!! And I'm going to have to agree with their assessment that it's laugh out loud funny, just based on the title :)

DON'T EVER GET OLD got the fourth star from Library Journal! That's pretty huge; less than 20 adult novels per year are starred by all four trades.

They said: "Short chapters, crackling dialog, and memorable characters make this a standout debut."
