I don’t know if words can express how much I loved Love & Other Disasters. Look at this list of all the amazing things it contained!
-diverse representation (queer + non-binary)
-reality TV cooking show
-steamy sex scenes
-CURLY HAIR
Dahlia and London were amazing characters. Dahlia is recently divorced and broke, and working through her insecurities and feeling like a failure. London is more privileged but is struggling with misgendering and acceptance from their family since coming out as non-binary. They have a bit of a grumpy/sunshine trope going on at first until their relationship progresses. While they are at a competition and everything is fast-paced, the progression still felt realistic.
The struggles they both go through was so relatable and made their story feel more real to me. Regarding the steam, I was happily surprised by how hot the scenes were and they really gave me all the feels.
Love & Other Disasters is already one of my favorite books of 2022. I SAID IT.

I had so much fun reading this book, and I loved the respect shown to the NB character! While there is some homophobia, it felt therapeutic to see the support that can happen!

2.5 mediocre ass stars. This book was so bland and pandering. The cooking show made absolute no sense and the food was the most vanilla shit in the world. I appreciate the attempt (even with obvious typos and words missing!!) but this was aggressively not good
