Summary

Not only is Graham Peterson unlucky in his choice of careers, he's also been terrible with women throughout his adult life. That changes when he meets Alison on a work night out. Unfortunately for Graham, however, things change so drastically that within a month of dating Alison, he gets the news that he's about to become a father for the first time.

The Diary of an Expectant Father charts the months leading up to what should be the happiest day of a young couple's life, but with a relationship so new and a career so bad, can Graham keep everything together for the sake of his unborn child?

With all the pitfalls and worries of an expectant father charted, this book is for all those who have been through pregnancy or just want to know how a man deals with all these things internally.

Expectant Father is the first in a series of diaries by Graham Peterson, who sometimes thinks he's writing to an alien warlord from the future. The next in the series, The Diary of a Hapless Father: Months 1-3, charts those first three terrifying months of parenthood.

Great connection

Would you consider the audio edition of The Diary of an Expectant Father to be better than the print version?

One of the few audiobooks ive heard where the reader is engaging with the story fully.. clearly has put time and effort into getting this right. laughed out loud throughout.. great narration Will M Watt!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Diary of an Expectant Father?

Wills commentary of the scene in A+E had me in stitches..

What does Will M Watt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Genuine humour, comical timing and easy listening..

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

.

Any additional comments?

Thanks again... more please!

Brilliant story, wonderfully read. Made me laugh and cry. Could relate to so much, interesting to hear a Dads perspective. 👶🏼.

meh.

I found this in the non-fiction section and find it very hard to believe. It reminds me strongly of Adrian Mole whose "diaries" I love as a work of fiction from a guy who isn't as smart as he thinks he is.

Here we have a guy who writes smarter than the character he portrays, and hence just comes across as fake. Right up to the diary entries he's making as his partner is in Labour? Seriously?!
