The Falcon and the Foe by A.J. Truman
3.5
funny lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The perfect amount of banter and fun. Even though there were a few cringy moments, the narrator really made it an enjoyable and easy listen. I really enjoyed that both main characters were single dads and how one of them was a “bear”—it was great to see body positivity represented. The book also touched on social standards and how they affect both kids and parents, which was a nice touch and blended well into the plot and story without taking it too heavy or far. Overall, it was a really light, easy read that hit the spot as a comfort book.
