Most Wonderful is a multiple POV that follows siblings; Liz, Birdie and Rafi as they navigate their love life, trauma and the holidays while visiting their eclectic mother who is a famous actor and singer. 

Most Wonderful is full of queer joy and it is executed so well. We get to follow each sibling equally with their own unique love story. You get a little bit of everything; friends to lovers, a meet cute, and workplace romance. I loved that each sibling has their own trauma that they need to sort through when dealing with their prospective partners and the conversation of depression was dealt with in such a caring way. There is a lot going on these stories but it’s done in a way that doesn’t feel chaotic or hard to follow. 

Overall this is such a fun wonderful queer story. It’s not overly Christmas heavy but certainly a perfect read to put you in a bit of the holiday spirit. This does deal with some deeper issues like chronic illness, depression, and alcoholism but it’s done in a very respectful caring way. The cast of characters are memorable and fun. I highly recommend adding it to your TBR.
