The Guncle by Steven Rowley is a big-hearted, laugh-out-loud-funny kind of book that's sure to stay with you long after you turn the final page. The novel follows Patrick, a former sitcom star and the fun-loving guy known as GUP (Gay Uncle Patrick) to his little niece and nephew. However, when a family tragedy sends his niece and nephew to his Palm Springs home for an extended stay, Patrick is going to have to learn how to be more than just the fun uncle — even if doling out snacks is so much easier than trying to understand two tiny humans.
