While The Guncle Abroad is not as strong as The Guncle (which is truly a perfect book), I still enjoyed this sequel. GUP is still as witty as ever. I love his quick jokes and pop culture references, he’s like a Gilmore Girls ep all on his own. I felt that the storyline and journey for him and the kiddos was more compelling in book one. I also wished their trip was a little longer and had more stops before the wedding festivities. That being said there were some moments when GUP, Greg, and the kids were talking about Sara or reading her letter that did have me tearing up. If you enjoyed The Guncle I would recommend picking this book up, it is fun vibes for early summer.
