In this clean single dad romance this hero hides behind a joke and I'm sure we all know someone like this.
Everybody has "that" friend. The friend who walks into a room and the whole mood changes. The one who has a story ready before anyone asks how the week went, who turns a flat tire into a five minute bit, who can make a waiting room laugh out loud. You know exactly who yours is. You probably thought of their name before you got to the end of that sentence.
Now think about the last time you asked that person how they were doing and actually waited for the answer.
That is a harder question, and it is the one that started this book.
The funniest person in the room is the last one anyone checks on
I have been on both sides of that. I have been the friend who leans on the funny one, and I have been the funny one who did not want anybody looking too close. There is a kind of comfort in being the person who lightens things up. Nobody asks follow up questions.
