Most Wonderful by Georgia Clark
4.5

okay wow I loved this!

i went into this expecting a silly, gay romcom that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which this absolutely was, but it was also rich with sensitive discussions of heavy topics 

clark managed to discuss mental health, sibling dynamics, physical health, relationship problems, and many other weighty subjects with a delicate hand. 

I LOVED this cast of characters. all of the different siblings and partners were complex and distinctive. the entire ensemble had well crafted character arcs and development that had you rooting for every one of them. 

this was cheesy! so so cheesy! and it was at times a tiny bit cringy, but in an endearing, hallmark-movie-but-make-it-so-very-gay kind of way. there are a lot of culture references, specifically queer pop culture references, which I personally really enjoyed.

I was expecting to have fun with this, but I didn’t expect to be physically giggling and kicking my feet during the last chapters. so sweet, so funny, such an enjoyable read!! I may have to reread this during the winter season!!

thank you so much to netgalley and random house for this uncorrected proof!
