Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take

Fatherhood media tie-in

Matt Logelin · 2020
74/100
👍 Worth It

Matt Logelin's memoir is raw and specific in the best way — the grief is real, the newborn chaos is real, and the online community that sustained him is a genuinely moving part of the story. Just ignore the media tie-in packaging: the Kevin Hart film is a broad comedy and this book is not. Read it as the honest memoir it is and it earns its place.
