Thank you to NetGalley, author Georgia Clark, and Random House: Dial Press Trade Paperback for providing me with a free ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!
It's finally nearing the holiday season, which means it's time for holiday reads! There were quite a few LGBTQ+ holiday rom-coms out this year that I have been anticipating reading, and Most Wonderful kicked them off, as it was a book club pick for me this month. This wasn't my personal favorite seasonal read, but I did have fun moments reading it and enjoyed it overall! I loved the premise of following adult siblings throughout their individual experiences all while dealing with a celebrity mom. I could definitely relate to Liz the most being the oldest daughter, and I really liked anytime the child/parent or sibling relationships were explored because they read very candid. Being a lesbian myself, I of course loved that every sibling was queer! I thought that their relationships were all interesting, and I liked that none of the characters read too similar to another one. I think more than anything the book just read a bit generic, and I personally couldn't jive with Birdie. I found myself annoyed with her antics more than once and not very funny. I also wish the book would have dived deeper into certain topics instead of playing it safe with more focus on the rom-com. This is not a book that will stick with me, but it was perfectly fine for seasonal entertainment! I look forward to reading more as the holiday season progresses!
