Judges praised the book as an “immersive experience” into the “beauty and awfulness” of Florida, and they aren't the only fans - former President Barack Obama listed it as a favorite of 2018! Finalists for the prize included A Lucky Man by Jamal Brinkley and Your Duck Is My Duck by Deborah Eisenberg. Congratulations to Lauren Groff!
