Oh but this was just delectable. Love & Other Disasters is such a cute but spicy queer (f/nb) romance between two competitors on America's favourite cooking show... now, that's a recipe for success, if you ask me.
Both Dahlia and London stole my heart the moment I met them, and I loved the sizzling tension and chemistry between them. The side characters maybe fell a bit flat in comparison to them and I think the cooking competition aspect of the story was a bit half-baked, but I personally didn't mind that too much.
For me, the tender and beautifully queer romance was the highlight of the story, and I really appreciated the all the authentic queer representation and powerful conversations around gender, sexuality and trans/non-binary experiences (especially through London's POV).
Would highly recommend this if you want a fun palate cleanser of a romcom that still packs a big punch and has more layers to peel back than an onion.

i received an eARC of this book via NetGalley.
i love cooking shows. i love dahlia. i love london. i love idiots falling in love and being straight up idiots. this was incredibly enjoyable and that’s all i have to say.
p.s. continue giving characters personality flaws (great example: dahlia)
p.p.s. continue making characters work through familial issues by expressing their needs for boundaries and establishing said boundaries (example: london)
p.p.p.s. make apologizing cool again!!!!

3.5 stars! I loved the nonbinary representation in this and the care the two main characters took with each other.
