Book review 🥘

Love and other disasters is a cute comfort read with non binary rep. This had a writing that made me wanna keep on reading while I was feeling a little sick at the time. 
I enjoyed reading it and definitely recommend for a good fast paced queer read.

I'm ambivalent about this one. While I enjoyed it on a superficial level, it never really went any deeper than that. I thought London especially didn't feel like a rounded character, the cooking competition was way more background-y than I would have liked, and most of the little crises seemed to dissolve without any conclusion or anyone actually working through something. So what did I like? I liked Dahlia, I liked the side characters, I liked how London's gender was written. I especially liked the joyful parts, they felt really good. 

10/5 STARS!!

How did it take me so long to read this book!?! This story was so incredibly moving and so relevant and relatable to what so, so many people are currently going through.

I laughed, I cried, I hurt, and I loved this story immensely. It's so unbelievably worth it!
