The Guncle

This was so fun and charming - it was exactly what I was looking for in a comfort read for the gray winter days.

I loved it! I had this book sitting on my TBR list for ages and finally picked it up because a bookclub was about to read it. I didn't make the deadline or the bookclub meeting, but I still felt it was worth reading.

There were so many funny lines in it. I found myself laughing out loud so many times. I don't mean to say that it was a fluffy comedic book, because it did have a lot of touching moments in it.

I loved it and would recommend it highly.

I absolutely enjoyed Guncle! It's such a heartwarming read that goes beyond just being feel-good. While I can't say it's packed with big comedic moments, it offers a sense of tenderness that resonated deeply with me. I found myself smiling frequently, even if I didn't laugh out loud. The narrative is charming, chaotic, loud, and genuine, capturing real-life emotions. Moments in the story struck a chord with me, particularly as someone who experienced the loss of a parent during childhood, but also as a reluctant caretaker. Its blend of joyful and poignant moments makes it a relatable and impactful experience.

I loved this read and found it a great getaway escape read. From the sassy narrative of GUP, to the way hot issues are approached to the innocent children, this book was a pleasure to follow. As the basis of the plot was sad itself, the author made sure that the journey was one full of laughs, eye rolls, and bashful grins.

I so enjoyed this book. I listened to it and found the audio so engaging. It has such a nice balance of heartfelt and genuine humor. I found it relatable in many ways and loved the character development. I would highly recommend this book.
