summary: so this book was marketed as a poetry/ non-fiction, research book. however, in reality its just a bunch of nonsense thrown together, with no plot of moving idea. there is no research or studies mentioned.

footnotes: this book makes it very obvious the author is a hard liberal and wants no debate about it. when reaching for a book about fatherly attachments and roles, the last thing i wanted to know was what political party the author supported. even if you are a liberal, the first 1o sections are so openly political it completely takes away from the message the author is trying to promote. definitely something to keep in mind if you were thinking about reading this book.

summary i dnf'd this book about 25% of the way through. I just didn't see any point. there was no substance to the book at all. like i said earlier, there was no plot or structure to the book at all. there were random chapters and line breaks in places that made no sense. the text was mostly the authors thoughts about parenting and being a father, but any profoundness was overshadowed by the glaring politicizing of the writing and the inadequate writing style and prose. not something i would recommend at all.
