Thank you so much @thedialpress and @netgalley for the copy of this eARC!

This book was such a fun read! I couldn’t put it down. I loved every single character, especially Birdie—she had me laughing out loud every time she appeared. Georgia did an amazing job bringing these characters to life and skillfully balancing multiple storylines. She captured each character’s journey, from their struggles to their successes, in such a beautiful way.

This is a queer holiday romance centered around three very different siblings finding love during Christmas. Each sibling has their own unique romantic storyline, and I absolutely loved how each of their relationships with their mother was portrayed. The exploration of who they used to be versus who they hoped to become added such depth to their characters.

I really enjoyed the seamless blend of romance and contemporary fiction, especially how the romance in each of their stories helped shape their character development, rather than the other way around.

Georgia Clark has created a heartwarming story that celebrates love in all its forms—romantic, self-love, and family. At its heart, the book explores themes of personal growth, acceptance, and the empowering journey of pursuing one’s passions.

I genuinely loved all the characters in this book. All three siblings are queer! So much queer joy and love! This book is so charming and funny and so sexy. And full of romance tropes and pop culture references!! I laughed and I cried so much and was so happy everyone got a good ending, especially Birdie, bless her heart. I think she is my favorite. I also adored how much the siblings loved and supported each other.
This book has really short chapters, yay!! Just know that each chapter focuses on a different sibling. There's basically 3 different storylines going on under the same roof. I found it easy to follow, but others may not.

While this is a fun story, there are also some hard stuff in it like alcoholism, medical diagnosis, depression, parent death (in the past), miscarriage (past), etc.

Overall this is a sweet Holiday rom-com with just enough family drama, romance, spice humor to keep you cozy during the winter and I highly recommend it. I can't wait to read it again next December! Here's to the Belvederes and the Gays!

Man! I really loved this! I haven’t read a romance that felt so gut-punch real in a long time. Quippy, of course, but in a way that felt like the funniest person you know speaking, not like a script. As each of the main characters progressed through their romantic journeys, they had moments of crushing, pining, lusting, and over-thinking where they felt things I’ve felt, described them the way I felt them. I knew this would be a nice change of pace because I don’t read much with an ensemble cast, but clearly I should more often. I would recommend this to anyone who loves romance, particularly queer romance!
