Q: Happy Father’s Day! Who is your favorite dad character in a book and why?
Just one? I have four!
Ray Quinn from Nora Robert's Chesapeake Bay series. He won his spot by adopting and raising three teenage boys from horrible backgrounds. Kudos to all adoptive parents. (Amazon
/Goodreads)
Ronnie's father from Knee Deep by Jolene Perry. He found a loving and supportive way to help his teenage daughter when she was in a really tough spot. (Amazon
/Goodreads)
Both of Lola's fathers in Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins. Especially Andy, because he can make pie. But they both earn their spot for being strict but loving, and embracing Lola's uniqueness. (Amazon

ReplyDeleteMy answer to the best fictional dad is on my blog if you visit....I had trouble thinking of an answer, so mine is not ya or paranormal, but fitting the question.
Thanks so much,

There are SO MANY Nora Roberts dads I'd pick like every male in the Macgregor series but Ray Quinn definitely hits high marks! :D Made me sob with each memory of him one of the bros showed us...
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet read Knee Deep but I've been digging Jolene's novels a lot these days, so I've got to remember to check it out. AND OOOHHHH YESSS for Lola's dads. Two of the best YA parents ever. Next I'd say would be Mia's parents from If I Stay by Gayle Forman.
