Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly
3.0

A fun book that I kind of expected more from.
I did enjoy the second half of the book a lot, but the first part was too insta-love for my tastes, and I didn't feel like I could connect with the characters. Dahlia specifically has left a weird, vaguely unpleasant taste in my mouth, which I can't necessarily describe. She felt like a deeply troubled individual who definitely needed more than an instant romance in order to get functioning, but I don't know.
This isn't in any way a bad book, and there's a good chance I'll be checking out Anita Kelly's other works, but the first half was a bit lacking. I did like London a lot as a character, though, and I did appreciate their arc.
