Most Wonderful: A Christmas Novel | Georgia Clark
2 posts | 2 read
It's the most romantic time of the year. Three adult siblings, each at a personal and romantic crossroads, reunite with their larger-than-life mother at her Catskills manor for an unforgettable Christmas in "the funny queer holiday rom-com [we've] always wanted to read" (Self). "Perfectly captures the glimmering magic of love at the holidays."--Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners The holidays are fast approaching, and the Belvedere siblings are a mess. Liz, a Hollywood showrunner and responsible eldest, has no idea how to follow up her hit show's first season, or how to deal with her giant crush on its star, Violet Grace. Birdie turned her chronic middle-child syndrome into a career as a stand-up comic, but since she spends more time wooing women than working on new material, she's facing one-hit-wonder status, especially once she gets axed by her manager. And Rafi, sensitive romantic and the baby golden boy, proposes to his co-worker girlfriend in front of their entire company, only to be turned down by the woman he thought was the love of his life. Born to three different fathers, the three adult children share one mother: famed actress and singer Babs Belvedere. Seeking direction and holiday cheer, all three siblings head up to their mother's house in the country, determined to swear off love and focus on themselves and their work. But the spirit of the season seems to have different plans for them, and their best intentions are quickly derailed in the most delightful and festive of ways. Emotional, smart, and sexy, this queer holiday rom-com celebrates love, family, and the wild creative life?perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Casey McQuiston.

Birdie is struggling with her stand-up career, her relationships, and her drinking when she meets a local artist. Rafi is turned down after a public proposal and returns home to spend time with his best friend.

These characters are not clicking with me. I find Birdie and Rafi borderline insufferable, actually. I loved the idea of three queer adult siblings gathering at their mom's house for Christmas and fixing their romantic / career lives but I have to care about the characters for it work. Oh well!
