Partner pregnant. Less than nine months to prepare. Holy s**t – you're going to be a daddy!

Now, a soon-to-be first-time father is charting a course through the perilous and choppy waters of living with a pregnant woman. He’s dodging hormonal right hooks, evading emotional explosions, saying all the wrong things (like ‘Are you okay?’) and trying to figure out how the hell you install a car seat.

Written as a journal to his unborn child, Dear Dory is the unfiltered, irreverently funny, honest and heartfelt account of one man’s journey to fatherhood as he contemplates his new identity as a Daddy and prepares for the responsibility of a lifetime.

WARNING: This book contains a truckload of profanity.

Ratings and reviews

I can not rate this book enough! As a Dad to be myself I’ve been looking for a good read on this subject and this book ticks all the boxes. It’s laugh out loud funny, heartfelt and extremely relatable. I recommend for parents and parents to be, but I also recommend it to anyone who enjoys good wit and well written anecdotes.
