heykellyjensen's review
I have a hard time giving this a rating because some of the stories were really moving and some were flat. I found the last two to be the strongest -- a picture of a father who lost his job and his pride and a stepfather who stepped up to the plate.
I initially picked this one up hoping to maybe connect with something here, but I wasn't satisfied. That's not to say it's not a good collection nor that there will be stories that resonate with readers, especially teens, but it didn't satisfy what I wanted it to. I'm waiting for someone's story about fathers to really connect with me, and I haven't had that moment yet.
This is a fast read and a short book, and it's perfectly teen appropriate. I wanted more, though.
