From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Devney Perry comes this special edition version of a new story in her Maysen Jar series…
Dear Diary,
My dad needs a girlfriend, and I’ve already picked her out.
Miss Adler would be perfect for him, right? She’s super pretty. She has the best smile and she gives the best hugs. And she’s, like, the most amazing teacher in the world.
Dad is my hero, but I can tell he’s lonely. He tries to hide it from me, but sometimes at night, when he thinks I’m asleep, I’ll sneak downstairs and find him sitting on the couch, staring at nothing. He’s never had a girlfriend, not since the divorce. Mom messed him up. She’s good at that.
He’s smart and funny, but he doesn’t laugh enough. I’ve seen other moms at school check him out so I guess he’s handsome. (Eww.) And he makes up the best nicknames. He calls me Dandelion. I bet he’d give Miss Adler an awesome nickname too.
They're perfect for each other. I just know it. Now I only have to show them I’m right.
Wish me luck.
Katy
** Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do. **

This was a really cute novella. I loved the premise of the little girl trying to fix up her dad with her teacher. Jeff and Katy’s relationship was very sweet already, but when she plotted to get her dad with Della it really pulled at your heartstrings.

I wanted more from this story. I needed to know what was up with Jeff’s ex and what crawled up Luka’s behind. I’ll have to make up that information in my head. A solid read for a quick lunchtime break.
