Book: The Guncle Abroad

Author: Steven Rowley

Thank you to Penguin Group Putnam and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely loved this story so much! I enjoyed the first book, The Guncle, but I feel like this one tops it!

Patrick was finishing filming his series for the Guncle before his brother’s wedding in Lake Como. Grant and Maisie are a little older now and I feel like they have so much more of a personality. I loved getting to know them even more in this book. They are both unhappy that their dad is remarrying, but they have a different perspective on the situation. Grant is unhappy but looking toward the positive, he will have a mom again. While Maisie wants Patrick to talk to her dad and stop the wedding.

Patrick decides to take his niece and nephew on a little European adventure. It was a great adventure and was so easy to put yourself into the story. When they were in Paris, I felt like I was reliving a past trip to Paris from going to The Louvre and to having hot chocolate at Angelina’s.

Once they get to Lake Como there are bachelorette parties to be had and rehearsal dinners to attend. Will Patrick really try to stop his brother’s wedding? This is a must-read and worth putting on your summer reading list. It still has some Guncle rules like book one, only this time they are love languages. You will fall in love with these characters as well as laugh out loud many times.

Final Score 5/5
