About this listen

"Accessible and unvarnished, it’s bound to strike a chord with dads everywhere." (workingdads.co.uk)

"It’s a very moving book, it’s a very funny book." (BBC)

"Essential reading for any new parent." (MANtenatal)

Imagine discovering you’re about to become a parent, even though doctors told you the chances of making a baby were close to zero.

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.

Honestly an amazing insight on how it is for fathers to be, it’s certainly helping me with understanding a lot of stuff that’s happening at the moment in life but also offers laughter and relatability.
