Dad Jokes and Pine Cones by C.J. Banks is a queer pun-fuelled, dramatic, steamy, single dads rom-com where we follow Wishes through his friends-to-lovers relationship with Ronan. Wishes tries to balance his career, mental health, parenting, and social life while dragging around his giant duffel bag of trauma.
