Three half-siblings have their lives implode and head to their mother’s house for the holidays much earlier than expected.
Liz, a TV writer, is desperately trying to create an arc for the second season of her hit TV show (loosely based on the Sweet Valley High books). She has writer’s block. Her mind keeps reminiscing the kisses she shared with the lead actress while on a press tour in Rome.
Birdie’s career just went up in flames. Her manager fired her when she missed her latest slot because she was having sex in the bathroom. A stand-up comedian, she had a well-received special on Netflix. She’s supposed to be coming up with new material for a show, but nothing seems to work. Birdie’s floundering and can’t seem to find footing.
Rafi longs to be married and find his place in the world. He’s decided to propose at the office holiday party to his girlfriend. They haven’t been together that long. She’s horrified and turns him down quickly. Rafi can’t think of anything worse than staying in town; luckily he can work remotely.
The three siblings talk about all the drama in their lives, each insisting they will take a break from dating. But the universe has other plans. This holiday season will find them each entangled with someone who will make them look at themselves differently.
MOST WONDERFUL is a messy family holiday story filled with love, friendship, and drama. I really loved how Liz’s show was tied into Sweet Valley High and the conversations she and Viv had about the books. I loved the relationship between the siblings, and how they were there for each other, even if they gave each other terrible advice. Rafi’s story might have been my favorite, as I love the friends-to-lovers trope. While there were some Christmas traditions, I felt there could have been more holiday moments.
A charming queer holiday romance about three adult siblings, each at a personal and romantic crossroads, who reunite at their larger-than-life mother’s Catskills manor for an unforgettable Christmas, from the author of It Had to Be You.
It's the most romantic time of the year.
The holidays are fast approaching, and the Belvedere siblings are a mess. Liz, a Hollywood showrunner and responsible eldest, has no idea how to follow up her hit show’s first season, or how to deal with her giant crush on its star, Violet Grace. Birdie turned her chronic middle child syndrome into a career as a stand-up comic, but since she spends more time wooing women than working on new material, she’s facing one-hit wonder status, especially once she gets axed by her manager. And Rafi, sensitive romantic and the baby golden boy, proposes to his coworker girlfriend in front of his entire company, only to be turned down by the woman he thought was the love of his life.
Born to three different fathers, the three adult children share one mother: famed actress and singer Babs Belvedere. Seeking direction and holiday cheer, all three siblings head up to their mother’s house in the Catskills, determined to swear off love and focus on themselves and their work. But the spirit of the season seems to have different plans for them, and their best intentions are quickly derailed in the most delightful and festive of ways.
Emotional, smart, and sexy, this queer holiday romcom celebrates love, family, and the wild creative life, and is perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Casey McQuiston.
