Genre: Domestic Fiction
Rating: 4⭐
Diversity: no
SUMMARY:
This debut novel by Porter is heartwarming and humorous about a father desperately trying to reconnect with his pre-teen daughter before she enters middle school. John decides to book a remote father-daughter summer camp for a week in hopes of rekindling their strong bond.
WHAT I LIKED & DISLIKED ABOUT IT:
I loved that we got to see different perspectives and struggles of dads. I find we often get a one-note version of how dads are perceived. In this book, we get to see the different types of dads (stay-at-home, unavailable because he's always working, hyper-masculine ideals, etc.) and see why they are the way they are (or feel they need to be) and see these men be able to get vulnerable and challenge stereotyping.
RECOMMENDATION:
This book is for anyone who's looking for a sweet and funny story about girl dads.
