This was a fun little read. It had humour and heart and it was exactly what I needed to read.
I read this in class, while teaching a room full of students. It was enjoyable. I highly recommend this.

Great little read for all the dads out there. Parenting from the fathers point of view is rare to see. Really relevant to showcase the isolation of parenting young children and trying to maintain some semblance of an adult social network. Makes it even more relevant while reading it while going through the pandemic.

A relatable depiction of the early months of parenting. The oscillations from humor to panic. Navigating new adult dynamics, sometimes receiving compassion and grace, and experiencing shifts in personal identity and purpose.

Disappointing when a good dad starts worrying about missing his old buddies more than what's best for his child. Who really wants to read about a needy adult? I was disappointed with the direction that the story went, especially when he was doing a great job as a father..

What an interesting book. A very creative description of the lives of two stay at home dads. It leaves the reader intrigued about their future.
