Just My Luck: Chaotic Stories on Modern Fatherhood
About this ebook
Danny Pellegrino—bestselling author, pop-culture expert, and host of the hit podcast Everything Iconic—always wanted to be a dad. Getting there was another story. In Just My Luck, he chronicles his path to parenthood as a gay man, from IVF acronyms that sound like drag names and the realities of surrogacy to the surreal moment when JC Chasez of *NSYNC broke the news that his surrogate was pregnant. And then the baby arrived.
With his signature mix of sharp humor, millennial nostalgia, and candid vulnerability, Pellegrino writes about the joy, terror, and absurdity of becoming a parent; the families we’re born into and the ones we create; and giving a child a safe, loving childhood in a world very different from the one he grew up in.
