contemporary fiction
I've read several of Joshua Braff's books & enjoyed most of them; The Daddy Diaries is no exception. It's a character study, detailing the life of a recently relocated family- the stay-at-home dad, the sweet, still enamored with her parents daughter, the sullen teenage boy, & the hard working wife (& of course, their friends, neighbors & family). If you are a parent, you're bound to recognize some part of yourself (or your children) in this story. I laughed out loud at some of the conversations between the teenage son and father because I have had many of those same conversations! Other parts of the book hit me right in the gut with their truthfulness.
Overall, while there's not a lot of action in The Daddy Diaries, there is a lot of heart and that's what made the story enjoyable for me.
