Sad, but heart warming. Funny but meaningful. This one runs the full gamut of emotions.

AmyG Loved this one so much. 3mo

I ADORED this book! Patrick‘s a Hollywood star taking a hiatus when his best friend and sister-in-law passes away from cancer. His brother informs him he‘s become an addict during Sarah‘s illness, is checking into rehab and wants Gay Uncle Patrick to take the kids to California during his rehab. It‘s a story about love, family, relationships and moving forward AND it‘s delightfully comical. Rowley narrates the audio and it‘s the best!

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego This was so good! I pre-ordered the sequel on Audible. 💛 3mo

This is lots of fun but still manages to impart some interesting ideas about grief and family.
Patrick, a former sitcom star and Golden Globe winner, has not dealt with the grief of losing his partner to a drunk driver. He lives an isolated existence in Palm Springs until his recently widowed brother enters rehab and asks Patrick to look after his two kids.
This will make a great film - hope it gets made.

3✨ This book had humor and raw emotion balancing it out. I liked the story and Patrick. The kids were really cute. Plus their relationship was so sweet as it developed. A lot happened to create drama, but by the end I was feeling underwhelmed from the hype I‘ve seen. It was hitting on so many different topics by the end that for me it just seems too much. Overall, a great read with good messages normal grief, and just being you. #snowedin

Such a heartwarming story of a gay uncle helping his niece & nephew through a really terrible time. The “guncle rules” are great life lessons too.

This was a huge year of reading for me! My resolution to just read every single day really paid off! Although there were days I read as a little as one poem or one paragraph, I never missed a day. That resulted in 88 completed books! I normally do a Reading Roundup over on Facebook but I have no idea how to do it for this many titles!

I think my favorite book was the tagged title. It wasn't the best book, but it was so good and so heartwarming.

My husband and I loved this heartwarming, funny, dealing with grief book. The audiobook narration was fantastic. I‘m looking forward to the sequel next year.
