Greta loves her job as assistant librarian. She loves her best friend, Will, the high school civics teacher and debate coach. Then she meets Mac in the poetry section of the library, and she's smitten. Mac is heart-stoppingly gorgeous and showers her with affection and poetic text messages. But he seems different in texts than face-to-face. When the library is threatened with closure, Greta leaps into action. She arranges a "battle of the bands" book jam, hosts a book signing by a famous author, and stages a protest. Soon she realizes that it's Will, not Mac, she turns to for support and encouragement.

From the host of the YouTube channel that went viral—Dad, How Do I?—comes a book that’s part memoir/part inspiration/part DIY. Rob Kenney’s father left him and his seven siblings when he was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished that he had someone who could teach him the basics—how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly—as well as succeed in life. But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own. Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos. In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be unique to the book), illustrated with helpful line drawings.
