Georgia Clarks Most Wonderful is a touching, emotional, romantic queer holiday romance novel that has absolutely resulted in a standing ovation from me.. The writing style was absolutely wonderful and the storyline was very fun and festive. I loved the characters and their backstories and I was excited to see love bloom a the holidays (I think I am in my queer holiday romance era).

This is a must read of you love queer romance, holiday romances and family dynamics.

Unfortunately I had to DNF this book at 35%. I was bored and not at all invested in any three of the siblings. It seemed like so much was happening but also nothing was really happening? I liked the premise but there was so much background info in the beginning that it felt like an info dump.

Georgia Clark’s Most Wonderful is a heartwarming and delightful novel that brilliantly captures the spirit of the holiday season while diving deep into themes of family, love, and self-discovery. From the very first page, readers are invited into the vibrant world of the novel’s characters, and it’s a journey you won’t want to miss.

The plot centers around a young woman, Holly, who returns to her childhood home for Christmas. What should be a joyful holiday visit quickly becomes a time of reflection, growth, and connection. Clark’s writing is effortlessly engaging, blending humor, warmth, and emotional depth. The plot may have a festive backdrop, but the true magic of Most Wonderful lies in how it explores the complexities of relationships and the importance of understanding oneself in the face of family dynamics.

What makes Most Wonderful stand out is Georgia Clark's ability to weave a festive story that resonates on a deeper emotional level. This isn’t just a holiday novel; it’s a story of growth, acceptance, and finding your place within the intricate web of family and tradition.

Most Wonderful truly made the yuletide gay! A surprisingly complex and charming holiday romance following three queer siblings as they return to their famous mother's home to escape their individual crises.
Each sibling had such a distinct voice and storyline with Liz's being the most relatable for me, personally. And while following each of their personal and romantic journeys was enjoyable, the family drama and love at the heart of this book was the best part.

"Most Wonderful" by Georgia Clark is an enjoyable read that brings a fresh perspective to its genre. The storyline is engaging, with moments of humor and heartfelt emotion that many readers will appreciate. Clark's writing style is accessible and entertaining, making it easy to follow the narrative.

The characters are well-developed, though some may feel more compelling than others. While the plot has its intriguing moments, there are parts where the pacing slows, which might affect the overall engagement for some readers. The themes explored in the book are relevant and thoughtfully presented, adding depth to the narrative.

Overall, "Most Wonderful" offers a pleasant reading experience with its charming plot and relatable characters. Although it may not stand out as exceptional, it is a solid choice for those looking for a light and entertaining read.

Such a super cute novel! This book felt like a fun holiday movie that you watch with the whole family all curled up on the couch.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. too many characters, too many characters that I did not like, did not finish.

I was so excited to read this book, as a queer person especially, but damn this was not it for me.
DNF at 14% … it was moving so slowly to me and some of the dialogue was so cringe. Birdie literally saying “it’s me, I’m the problem it’s me” out loud to someone was just so awkward. I personally think romance novels/romcoms need to be 300-350 pages, certainly not over 400 pages. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this early in exchange for an honest review.

I've loved Georgia Clark's other books, this one didn't quite hold up to her first two books but was still fun! It was a cute holiday romance that follows 3 siblings when they reunite at their famous mother's house in upstate New York. I think it just was trying to touch on too many things, ex. miscarriage, alcoholism, depression, bisexuality, and chronic illness; and as such none of them really feel like they get enough focus. The family dynamics were on point though and even though I didn't really connect with any of the romances, it was still an enjoyable read!

This book was a bit of a pickle to me. I did not like any of the characters but found their issues interesting enough to continue reading until the end. The West Wing plot twist at the end shocked me though!

Georgia Clark’s Most Wonderful is a charming and delightful holiday novel that captures the essence of what makes this time of year so special: love, family, and finding joy in unexpected places. With vibrant, relatable characters and a storyline that’s as heartwarming as it is fun, Clark delivers a truly enjoyable read that will have readers laughing, reflecting, and feeling all the holiday cheer.

The novel follows its characters through moments of personal growth, rekindled relationships, and the joy that comes from embracing what truly matters. Clark's writing is engaging, filled with wit and warmth that make it easy to get lost in the story. The character development is strong, and the relationships feel real and relatable, making it easy to connect with the characters’ journeys.

While the story is packed with holiday spirit, there are a few moments where the plot feels a bit predictable, and some readers may wish for a little more depth in certain aspects of the narrative. Nevertheless, Most Wonderful is a heartwarming read that offers plenty of festive joy, emotional moments, and a reminder of the importance of love and connection, especially during the holiday season.

Overall, Most Wonderful is a delightful and feel-good read that will leave you with a smile. Perfect for fans of holiday-themed novels, this book offers a great balance of humor, heart, and seasonal cheer, making it a perfect read for the holidays.

Well this was incredibly charming! I ended up reading it just after Christmas, but it is the perfect cozy holiday romance. The multiple POV really worked for me, I thought the 3 sibling's stories were fun and complemented each other. I like the relationship between the sibling as much as I liked the 3 romances. I even grew to like Birdie and appreciate her little journey by the end of the book (I started out finding her story pretty annoying). Overall I think this was a delight and would recommend to anyone looking for a holiday romance.

ALL THE KIDS are GAY! I am so here for it!
Three siblings return home for the holidays, each in their own mess.
Birdie - lack of direction in her comedy, lots of hookups with little substance
Liz - massive crush on her hit show's leading lady
Rafi - youngest child ready to settle down and build a life

Supporting each other with excellent sibling digs, sex and the wonderful holiday. Great cozy read!

A queer romance that's perfect for the winter holiday season! This book is based around Christmas as a "deadline" but wasn't super tied to that holiday. Could NOT stand Birdie as a character, because she was the partner I'd tell any of my friends to run far, far away from -- but her character development was wholesome. Loved Birdie's siblings, Liz & Rafi and the way their connection to their mother was a side plot.

Books about fictional nepo babies are always nice to read because even when things get stressful, you know their parents can/would save them out of any predicament -- like taking on their kids credit card debt from an unfortunate painting incident. Makes the book cozy even though their conflicts are all valid!

These characters were all so different from each other, but lovable in their own ways. 10/10 would recommend during the holiday season.

This was great holiday read. While I did find Birdie extremely annoying at times, I still enjoyed the book.

3.5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of Most Wonderful by Georgia Clark!

I received this book for free from netgalley for an honest review.
I love that they focused on all the different relationships and their different Dynamics and different characteristics. The setting was wonderful that ending was definitely worth it.

A perfectly cozy holiday read!

This book was exactly what everyone is looking for in holiday romance novel. There is family drama, cozy nights in, and kisses under the mistletoe. It is bound to put anyone into the holiday spirit. I was nervous to read this because of the multiple storylines all happening at the same time. Often in books with multiple storylines, I get them confused and can't remember which story goes with who. I did not have that issue with this book at all! The author did an amazing job at making each storyline so unique making it easy to follow along and begging for more at the end of each chapter. The pacing really helped with this too. There was never a moment where it felt like we were in one storyline for too long and the author did a beautiful job and bringing them all together.

There are some really gorgeous messages about love, life, and family in this story. There truly is a character and story for everyone to enjoy because each one is so well developed and fleshed out. Along with this book being emotional, it was hilarious. Clark has such a gift at writing simple one liners for her characters that will make you laugh out loud. I caught myself laughing so much when reading this book, it felt like having dinner with friends for the first time in a while. Everyone had a good story to tell that will leave you laughing so hard you will cry and crying so hard that you will laugh when you remember that it is simply a book.

Truly such a beautifully funny story filled with so many lovely and interesting characters! Definitely pick this one up for your next holiday read!

Another great holiday read. Many family dynamics as we follow the lives of three very different siblings. It's an adventure as they all work through their love lives. A sweet and fun read.

Firstly, I loved the representation this book had (several queer characters) and talked about some hard issues (alcohol use). However, I didn't find this book had a real plot and with 3-4 stories going on, it was surface level at times. Some of the stories were much more enjoyable than others too. Overall, I think this book is a solid 3 stars. Thank you to NetGalley, Georgia Clark and Random House Publishing Group for an advanced reader copy of this book!
