Well this was incredibly charming! I ended up reading it just after Christmas, but it is the perfect cozy holiday romance. The multiple POV really worked for me, I thought the 3 sibling's stories were fun and complemented each other. I like the relationship between the sibling as much as I liked the 3 romances. I even grew to like Birdie and appreciate her little journey by the end of the book (I started out finding her story pretty annoying). Overall I think this was a delight and would recommend to anyone looking for a holiday romance.

ALL THE KIDS are GAY! I am so here for it!
Three siblings return home for the holidays, each in their own mess.
Birdie - lack of direction in her comedy, lots of hookups with little substance
Liz - massive crush on her hit show's leading lady
Rafi - youngest child ready to settle down and build a life

Supporting each other with excellent sibling digs, sex and the wonderful holiday. Great cozy read!

A queer romance that's perfect for the winter holiday season! This book is based around Christmas as a "deadline" but wasn't super tied to that holiday. Could NOT stand Birdie as a character, because she was the partner I'd tell any of my friends to run far, far away from -- but her character development was wholesome. Loved Birdie's siblings, Liz & Rafi and the way their connection to their mother was a side plot.

Books about fictional nepo babies are always nice to read because even when things get stressful, you know their parents can/would save them out of any predicament -- like taking on their kids credit card debt from an unfortunate painting incident. Makes the book cozy even though their conflicts are all valid!

These characters were all so different from each other, but lovable in their own ways. 10/10 would recommend during the holiday season.

This was great holiday read. While I did find Birdie extremely annoying at times, I still enjoyed the book.

3.5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of Most Wonderful by Georgia Clark!

I received this book for free from netgalley for an honest review.
I love that they focused on all the different relationships and their different Dynamics and different characteristics. The setting was wonderful that ending was definitely worth it.

A perfectly cozy holiday read!

This book was exactly what everyone is looking for in holiday romance novel. There is family drama, cozy nights in, and kisses under the mistletoe. It is bound to put anyone into the holiday spirit. I was nervous to read this because of the multiple storylines all happening at the same time. Often in books with multiple storylines, I get them confused and can't remember which story goes with who. I did not have that issue with this book at all! The author did an amazing job at making each storyline so unique making it easy to follow along and begging for more at the end of each chapter. The pacing really helped with this too. There was never a moment where it felt like we were in one storyline for too long and the author did a beautiful job and bringing them all together.

There are some really gorgeous messages about love, life, and family in this story. There truly is a character and story for everyone to enjoy because each one is so well developed and fleshed out. Along with this book being emotional, it was hilarious. Clark has such a gift at writing simple one liners for her characters that will make you laugh out loud. I caught myself laughing so much when reading this book, it felt like having dinner with friends for the first time in a while. Everyone had a good story to tell that will leave you laughing so hard you will cry and crying so hard that you will laugh when you remember that it is simply a book.

Truly such a beautifully funny story filled with so many lovely and interesting characters! Definitely pick this one up for your next holiday read!

Another great holiday read. Many family dynamics as we follow the lives of three very different siblings. It's an adventure as they all work through their love lives. A sweet and fun read.

Firstly, I loved the representation this book had (several queer characters) and talked about some hard issues (alcohol use). However, I didn't find this book had a real plot and with 3-4 stories going on, it was surface level at times. Some of the stories were much more enjoyable than others too. Overall, I think this book is a solid 3 stars. Thank you to NetGalley, Georgia Clark and Random House Publishing Group for an advanced reader copy of this book!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for providing me with an eARC of Most Wonderful in exchange for my honest review!

As someone who previously enjoyed It Had to Be You, I'm glad that Most Wonderful has turned out to be another charming rom-com from Georgia Clark. Rafi, Birdie, and Liz all get tales that are easy for me to get caught up in, interweaving together to create a heartfelt and cozy blast of queer Christmas cheer. None of this is doing anything particularly groundbreaking, but hey, the Love Actually-esque tale is still fun to follow. It's nice to see that this additionally squeezes in a surprising amount of steam for a Christmas romance. Now, I did see a few readers express their irritation over Birdie's story and the difficulty they had getting invested in her, but eh, I think she's a perfectly endearing part of the narrative. Yes, she's not the most mature human being ever, but I can connect with her nonetheless as all of these shenanigans unfold.

Overall, I'm officially rating Most Wonderful 3.75 out of 5 stars, which I'm rounding up to 4 stars. I'm looking forward to more fluffy rom-coms from Clark.

Most Wonderful by Georgia Clark is a queer holiday romance featuring 3 distinctive siblings finding love during Christmas. The family drama features the Belvedere siblings Liz, Birdie and Rafi as they reunite for the holidays at their famous actor mother’s home in upstate New York. They are each at a crossroads emotionally and professionally, and exploring new relationships. This is the gayest book I’ve ever read, and it’s funny at times, but also extremely ambitious. There is so much going on, including miscarriage, alcoholism, depression, bisexuality and chronic illness, that I think each topic isn’t given quite enough focus. Overall an entertaining, generally well paced, ambitious holiday family romcom.

I really enjoyed this book. I really liked the characters. The plot was great. Would definitely recommend.

This queer holiday romance had a lot of heart. It follows the Belvedere siblings, Birdie, Liz, and Rafi as they each find love during the holiday season. They are each at a different crossroads in life, trying to deal with their own things, but these challenges also bring them together.

It wasn't a difficult read, and I think I would have read it faster had I not been doing so during exam season. I don't remember many details about it right now, but I remember enjoying how each of their stories wrapped up. I remember some humorous events leading to a hate-to-love relationship, as well as the friends-to-lovers and coworker romance that the other siblings experienced. You get a bit of each in one book.

If you love a good holiday romance set in the mountains, with a lot of angst, and with some steamy sex scenes, you would love this.

The premise of the book was fun but all of the characters were selfish and bratty. I found myself not caring about any of them.

This is the kind of messy holiday books that I want. It felt very authentic and I love that we have three queer siblings all going home for the holidays with their own little twist off and POVs. I will admit that Birdie was a little bit insufferable to me but I think that that makes her all the more realistic and I still liked her even though I questioned a lot of her decisions. Rafi was my favorite because I am a sucker for friends to lovers but I really liked Liz's plot as well. I really appreciate that this author went in a little bit of a chaotic way and writing these characters and these romances and that they don't fit a cookie cutter rom-com vibe. There is messiness and flaws and not necessarily happily ever afters for everything. I was here for it.

I put off reading this one until closer to the holidays and it absolutely did not disappoint! Any time there’s a queer romcom, I’m seated for it, but this one went above and beyond with complex and intricate characters and storytelling and I loved the way it all came together. Will absolutely be rereading this one in the future for that cozy queer holiday cheer!

Most Wonderful is a fun Christmas rom-com about three siblings in various states of romantic distress reconvening for the holidays at their famous mother's house. It was a delight to watch their sibling relationship grow as they figure out their own situations, all under a bit of holiday spirit. Also, personally, it's always a win when I get to add another queer holiday rom-com to my shelf.

This was the holiday family saga of my dreams! By the time I was approved to read this, I forgot what it was about, so I chose to go in blind. It was such a delightful surprise this way! I'm usually picky about multiple POVs since many authors struggle with the character's unique narrative, but this was masterfully written. Each sibling's voice was so distinct and I connected to all three in some way. By the end I wanted them to be real people because I felt like I was part of their family. The romances were heartwarming, the conflict realistic, the humor laugh-out-loud funny, and sensitive subject matter handled with grace. I loved the accuracy and joy in the queer representation, as well! There's not much else I can say other then I will read anything Georgia Clark puts out in the future!

Most Wonderful by Georgia Clark is a heartwarming holiday romance that weaves together multiple love stories and festive charm. Set in New York City, the novel follows a diverse cast of LGBTQ+ characters as they navigate love, friendship, and self-discovery during the most magical time of the year. Clark's writing is engaging and witty, filled with humor and emotional depth, creating a perfect balance between cozy holiday cheer and poignant, relatable moments. It's an uplifting read that celebrates love in all its forms, making it a delightful addition to the holiday romance genre.

I am reviewing a bit late and it has been a while since I finished the book, but I absolutely loved this story and the romance was HOT. I will absolutely be re-reading for the next holiday season
