Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful book by Steven Rowley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
He's back! Patrick O'Hara, lovingly dubbed The Guncle (gay uncle) or GUP (Gay Uncle Patrick) by his niece, Maisie, and nephew, Grant, is finally getting his career back. But he's pushing 50 and missing his partner, Emory, after breaking things off with him. His brother Greg is getting married in Europe but his kids aren't happy about it, still mourning their mother's death. So Patrick decides to take the kids for an adventure before the wedding, hoping he can teach them a few things above love.
These books are such fun, yet filled with so much heart and good advice. You could certainly read this as a stand alone but please read The Guncle first to understand all the back stories. This one felt like you were going on a European vacation along with them. While the kids' grief and sadness over their father's impending remarriage, Rowley handled that subject lightly with so very many teachable moments. It's about family, second chances, and of course, love. But it's still laugh-out-loud funny. These are must read books!
