The Guncle Abroad by Steven Rowley

5.0

Huge thank you to @prhaudio for an advanced gifted audiobook copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Guncle is back!! This time he’s on a globetrotting journey with the kids while still doling out life advice along the way. Some of this life advice is literally life changing and others are bits of trivia 

that had me chuckling. Patrick’s brother, the dad of Maisie and Grant is getting married and the kids are struggling. Patrick has a big task at hand teaching the kids about love. I was crying laughing as he mused about how he could teach them about love. See below.

“There was a person named Big?” “Yes! Well, Mr. Big. Big was his last name. He rescued Carrie after she was kidnapped by Mikhail Baryshnikov.” “Was he a pirate?” Grant asked. Patrick took in their blank faces. How would he get them to understand love if he couldn’t get them to appreciate Carrie and Big?“

My favorite thing about Rowley’s writing is his keen attention to detail, his humor and wit, while consistently making me feel all the feelings. Yes, I’m always wiping away tears at the end of his books but his books are truly heartwarming and this definitely is!
