This was a fun, festive read full of messy family drama and queer holiday chaos—but I’m not sure I liked any of the characters all that much. 😅 

Most Wonderful brings plenty of big feelings: career meltdowns, awkward romantic entanglements, and a larger-than-life stage mom hosting Christmas in the Catskills. The concept is great, and I loved the idea of a queer holiday rom-com centered on adult siblings trying (and failing) to get their lives together. There are some genuinely funny, heartwarming moments—and lots of drama if that’s your thing. 

But honestly? Everyone felt a little too self-involved for me to fully root for. There were sparks of charm, but I kept waiting for a bigger emotional payoff that never really came. 

Still, if you’re in the mood for something festive, chaotic, and full of queer messiness, this could be a good seasonal pick. Just don’t expect to fall head over heels for the characters.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced reader copy!

It's been awhile since I've read a book with real character growth. Even the third act break ups were redeemable because of it.
