Fathermucker by Greg Olear

Book Description
A screenwriter, fledgling freelancer, and stay-at-home dad of two, Josh Lansky has held everything together during his wife Stacy's week-long business trip--until this morning's playdate, when he finds out through the mommy grapevine that Stacy might be having an affair. What Josh needs is a break. He's not going to get one.

My thoughts
This is the story of Josh Lansky, screenwriter and freelance writer and stay at home dad. This is but one day in the mostly frustrating and very busy in his life. He has two children he has to take car e of when his wife is out of town on business. He deals with a son with Asperger’s, a girl who is a toddler, mommy groups, come-ons and innuendos and also trying to meet and aging rocker who is a stay at home dad also (possible writing gig).

I found this book to be funny and sometimes exasperating as Josh tries to be a father to his children and trying to keep his marriage intact. A fascinating take on fatherhood in today’s world.

Disclosure: I received this book for review from the publisher. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
