This was an OK read. I really enjoyed The Guncle and was looking forward to another adventure with Patrick, Grant, and Maisie. This felt like one idea stretched out over a couple hundred pages with similar conversations in different ways. I think this book could lose about 75-100 pages and be sharper, funnier, and warm hearts. The last 50 pages were great, but I was bored before we got there.
