This was a very cute, not too cheesy Christmas rom com. I enjoyed all the characters and the way their stories unfolded. I would love more about babs I thing this character could have been built out more

An ensemble holiday romance where the family relationships shine. I was especially fond of the Belvedere siblings' mother, star of stage and screen Babs Belvedere, and the lovingly chaotic family dynamic on display. Of the three romances, Rafi and Ash's friends-to-lovers story was definitely my favorite. I also appreciated how much middle sister Birdie's plotline ultimately revolved around her coming to terms with her own messiness and issues. The Catskills setting is absurdly cozy and this definitely has a bit more depth than some holiday romances I've read in the past. My one quibble was the romance between Liz and her lead actress, which had my internal "call HR!" signal going off the whole time.
I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. NEW CHRISTMAS YEARLY READ!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this! It was the perfect mix of holiday nonsense, family drama, self growth/discovery, romance, and humor. It felt like The Family Stone but slightly less traumatizing(because that movie is a holiday horror film).
10/10 recommend and would love to see this as a movie!
