There are also a lot of celebrity and pop culture references, so that's nice if you are into that. I am into that as well, but did not understand all of the references. A big part of this book is set in LA / California, because of this setting, this book is especially nice to read in the summer.
It was nice to see how the Guncle warms up slowely to these kids. I also liked that the Guncle talked to the kids like an adult insteaf of baby talk. Grief is something they all three have in common and it was beautifully handled in the story. Even though grief is a big part of the books it is still a lighthearted, funny, easy read. 'Nothing' really happens in this books, it's just vibes. Maybe because of this I found it a bit hard to read fast. I even took a long break from reading it. There is nothing particularly wrong with the book, so I don't know why this took me quite long. I think I personally just was not captivated enough by the characters, but that doesn't mean you won't fall in love with the characters (as many did).
