Four years after his niece Maisie and nephew Grant came to stay with him for the summer, actor Patrick O'Hara finds himself once again in charge of his niblings. But this time, they're gallivanting about Europe in the weeks leading up to the wedding of Patrick's brother to an uber-wealthy Italian woman. Maisie and Grant aren't too keen on the idea of their father getting remarried, and understandably are worried that their stepmother will try to replace their mom, who died just before that summer with Guncle (gay uncle) Patrick. So while he's escorting them through London, Paris, Salzburg, and Venice, Patrick's also trying to teach Maisie and Grant the many ways people can show love for one another — including allowing their dad to get married again.
This book can't be read without reading The Guncle first, but good lord, they're both excellent books, so get on that already! In the opening pages, I was a bit concerned that this was going to be a retread of the first book (but in Europe!), but my fears were quickly assuaged, and this became an absolutely delightful read. Read The Guncle and then read this. It's fantastic.
*This book will be published May 21, 2024.
