3.5

This was a solid 3.5 for me. Some of the humor held over from The Guncle felt old and the warming up of the Guncle Rules to try and teach the kids about love fell flat for me. It was forced. A lot of the book felt forced as though the author had a really good book the first time and wanted to recreate the magic but just couldn't. The story was still fun and made me laugh and I'd still recommend it as a nice beach read, just not as much as the first go around.
