A very charming follow-up to The Guncle. Each of the character's has a distinct voice and personality that rings true to my experiences with family and taking care of children. Maisie and Grant are very endearing and I loved reading about their adventures across Europe with their GUP. The author handles difficult topics of grief, a parent's remarriage, and self-sabotaging relationships very tactfully and I was tearing up at the end.
Graphic: Grief
Moderate: Misogyny and Lesbophobia
Minor: Cursing and Alcohol
