Resumen del Editor

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

An Indie Next Pick

Patrick O'Hara is called back to his guncle duties . . . This time for a big family wedding in Italy.

Patrick O’Hara is back. It’s been five years since his summer as his niece Maisie and nephew Grant’s caretaker after their mother’s passing. The kids are back in Connecticut with their dad, and Patrick has relocated to New York to remain close by and relaunch his dormant acting career. After the run of his second successful sit-com comes to a close, Patrick feels on top of the world . . . professionally. But some things have had to take a back seat. Looking down both barrels at fifty, Patrick is single again after breaking things off with Emory. But at least he has a family to lean on. Until that family needs to again lean on him.

When Patrick's brother, Greg, announces he’s getting remarried in Italy, Maisie and Grant are not thrilled. Patrick feels drawn to take the two back under his wing. As they travel through Europe on their way to the wedding, Patrick tries his best to help them understand love, much as he once helped them comprehend grief. But when they arrive in Italy, Patrick is overextended managing a groom with cold feet; his sister, Clara, flirting with guests left and right; a growing rivalry with the kids’ charming soon-to-be-launt (lesbian aunt), and two moody young teens trying to adjust to a new normal, all culminating in a disastrous rehearsal dinner.

Can Patrick save the day? Will teaching the kids about love help him repair his own love life? Can the change of scenery help Patrick come to terms with finally growing up?

Gracing the work with his signature blend of humor and heart, Steven Rowley charms with a beloved story about the complicated bonds of family, love, and what it takes to rediscover yourself, even at the ripe age of fifty.

"All the ingredients you have come to expect from a Steven Rowley novel are here (and elevated!). This story on the complicated bond of family is infused with so much heart and humor that it will have you cracking up with laughter on one page and wiping a tear away on the next. Reading a Steven Rowley novel always makes me appreciate being alive with the urge to call up my friends and family and say, ‘I love you!’"—Nantucket Magazine

"Maisie, Grant, and GUP, their Gay Uncle Patrick, return in Rowley’s funny, heartfelt sequel to The Guncle. . . . This follow-up has a humor and affection for the characters in a story with just the right amount of domestic tension but will still be a balm to readers."—Library Journal

"Rowley’s cunning sequel is as much travelogue as uplifting love story, with happy endings all around."—Booklist

A great read for summer, bookclubs, and breaking a slump

Rowley is an auto-buy author for me and the moment I heard he would be writing a sequel to The Guncle I started counting the days. This book is like a good vacation: adventure, romance, delicious food, beautiful views, and a little bit of melancholic homesickness.

I loved getting to see growth from each of the characters and getting to meet some amazing new ones like the Launt!

Once again, Rowley knocks the narration out of the park, even returning a little bit of Grant’s lisp that I loved from book one. I highly recommend this book for any one of any age. It’s a great read for summer, bookclubs, and breaking a slump!

The perfect sequel - characters grew, plenty of humor but also tender

Story was thoughtful created, fast read but I also didn’t want it to end. Steven Rowley is a beautiful story teller.

Wonderful sequel.

I loved this so much I started listening to it again as soon as I finished it! So funny I laughed out loud many times. I just love Patrick’s humor and Steven Rowley’s voice and delivery are so perfect. These books are just total comfort reads for me.

I loved all the Sound of Music references. I’m around the same age as Patrick and also loved that movie as a kid, and in fact had just watched it with my daughter only a week or two ago!

I only wish a certain character had more page-time, but other than that I totally loved it.

Summer smash!

I loved The Guncle and to revisit this family again was a joy. The story is heartwarming and with quite a few laugh out loud moments. Fingers crossed there will be another Guncle book in the future.

Don’t stop this series!!!

I’ve not fallen in love with characters like these since Tales of the City. Though the first book pulled me in and introduced us to a cast of stand alone players, this book showed me what an amazing author can weld. This book is golden. The arch on point and surprising. I really want to thank Steven for this lil trip around the world and my personal emotions.

Great sequel.

It was a little long-winded in some parts but ultimately still loved the story and the storytelling.

Laughs and tears ♥️♥️

Every bit as good as the first - which is a tall order. I loved it from the first minute to the last.
