I would love to be unique in my review of this lovely, whacky, hilarious, heartwarming book, but I am going to have to stick with some tried and true statements. I adored this dadgum book. All the heart-eye emojis! And that's saying something because I loved its predecessor, The Guncle (it was one of my top reads in 2022). And the number of times I laughed out loud, by myself, like a lunatic was only exceeded by the number of times I wept happy and sad tears. This story does everything I want a story to do; make me feel all the things. In short, everyone should read it. Everyone. It is a stunning work of art.
