Flirting With Disaster by Naina Kumar
DID NOT FINISH: 10%

There are no content or trigger warnings for this book, and maybe it’s too niche of an issue to warrant a full warning page. For those of your who grew up and/or still live on the Gulf coast, most of this book takes place in a hurricane in Houston. 
I have serious PTSD from hurricanes after living through Katrina in Nola, then Rita a month later in DeRidder where we were staying after our house got destroyed by Katrina, and then lived through Harvey in Houston. My anxiety increased exponentially as I was reading Chapter 2, so I had to stop at 10%. Just be careful if you have hurricane PTSD and you pick up this book. 
I’m not sure I would have loved it anyway though, it’s a second chance romance with a love triangle, and those are two of my least favorite tropes.
