Dadolescence
When an ‘80s New Waver starts liking Country Music, is it a sign of maturity? Aside from selling all his Depeche Mode and Flock of Seagulls albums, stay-at-home dad Bill Angus has some serious house-cleaning to do. With his wife Julie bringing home the bacon and their son Sean flexing wings of independence, Bill can no longer avoid his PhD thesis. When Julie’s old flame Blake Morgan returns to Winnipeg – with his wife and kids, mansion and high-powered career, Bill realizes he needs to grow up. But rather than looking in the proverbial mirror, Bill tries to rescue his stay-at-home dad neighbours from their foibles.

This is a hoot to read especially if you live in Winnipeg, are middle-aged, married and have kids. Bill Angus, a stay at home dad, finds his true self after researching other stay at home dads for his so called thesis in his suburban neighbourhood of Winnipeg

A fun and poignant jaunt through middle-age (is that what 40 is?) dad-dom.

Good. Not too heavy. Liked Winnipeg references. Not uproariously funny, but not bad either. Wouldn't necessarily re-read.
