I was definitely incredibly close to my dad, in a way that was all-encompassing. I am close to my mum, too, but there were areas that she and I did not share.

My dad was an ob-gyn, and so it was confusing that the other baby didn't come home from the hospital. Scott Turow babychildbirthconfuse share on social
My dad's so likeable, you wouldn't feel in competition with him. If any boyfriends have ever felt that, they're long gone. Julia Sawalha boyfriendcompetitiondad Change image and share on social
