Twelve Guncle Rules (more or less). GUP. Self-absorbed actor. Niblings. Loss. Grief. Love. Healing. And, a lot of sarcasm.
The pink Christmas tree. Marlene. JED. Rosa. Pool floats. Stars (the kind in the sky). An earthquake. Death. Rehab.
This novel had a perspective that was new to me. Not the “retired” actor part. Not the part about the uncle entertaining his niece and nephew. But, the part where GUP deals with his losses and that of his niblings. How do the three of them help to heal each other? How much time can one spend in a swimming pool in Palm Springs? Heartfelt. I was hoping for the happily-ever-after ending…let’s just say, Rowley left the novel on the upswing. Loved every moment of the adventure.
