A story of obsession, redemption, divine intervention, and donuts.

From the Giller nominated author of Like This and Twenty-six, Roll Up the Rim follows the disastrous but comic missteps of a Tim Hortons employee obsessed with the grand prize in the Roll Up the Rim to Win contest. “The book has its serious side,” says the author. “But my previous work often got described as gut-wrenching. Not this book.”

What readers and critics are saying:

“This book is pure pleasure. I was laughing out loud.”
–John Ross author of Shakespeare’s Tremor and Orwell’s Cough

“The measure of a satisfying book is when you come to the next to last page, turn it and wish there was more. That’s how I reacted when I read Leo McKay Jr.’s delightful new novel, Roll Up the Rim.”
–Jodi DeLong, Halifax Chronicle Herald

“I sat down to read a few pages of Roll Up The Rim this afternoon. When I put it down I had read all 278 pages. Go buy this book.”
–Will Lawrence, Maitland

“What a great read. The aspect of McKay’s writing that I have always enjoyed is the reality that he touches deep inside of the reader. There were so many times in this book that I thought... I've been in that old folk’s home, I've had this conversation or I know someone just like this.”
–Cheryl Hughes, Eston, Saskatchewan

“Roll Up the Rim is like opening a box of Timbits, one bite and suddenly all that's left is powdered sugar dribbles on your chin.”
–Paul Millman, Truro

“I loved this book!”
–Janice Dickson, London, Ontario
