    I’m a stay-at-home dad and I feel like the day-to-day drudgery routine could be much more enjoyable and fulfilling with a fresh perspective. I would love to read modern slice-of-life, domestic, familial novels. Something to help me find the beauty and joy in the small things. It doesn’t need to be too cozy, but maybe nothing with too much trauma.

    I’m halfway through Tom Lake and so far it is exactly what I’m looking for (no spoilers if it takes a dark turn or something in the second half!)

    Bonus if it’s a good audiobook. Double bonus if there is a non-toxic male protagonist.
