gushier

Even more sentimental

Gushier is the comparative form of gushy, meaning more effusively or excessively emotional in expression.

Someone who gives gushier compliments piles on praise with theatrical enthusiasm: Her reviews got gushier with each book in the series.

The word often carries a faintly dismissive tone, suggesting sentimentality that crosses into the excessive.
