Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Dial Press for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by Georgia Clark. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
The three Belvedere siblings are a mess. The oldest, Liz, works in Hollywood as a showrunner and is stumped at how to follow up on her hit show's first season. She also has a big crush on the series star, Violet Grace. Birdie, the middle child, is a stand-up comic but is failing to come up with any new material and has just been fired by her manager. Rafi, the youngest and the golden boy, proposes to his coworker girlfriend at a company party, only to be turned down. So they all head up to their mother's house in the Catskills for the holidays, only for things to get even more complicated.
This is a queer romcom just in time for the holiday season. I loved how the siblings were always there for each other, even coming up with different names for their own club to share their innermost thoughts; this year, it's the Black Hearts Club since they've all sworn off love. But of course love has different plans for all of them. They all have different dads, but their mom, Babs, is a hoot with a secret of her own. There's some heavy subjects here as well - addiction, depression, abandonment issues, illness - but the overall book is light and hopeful.
