A review by seasonforreading
Love & Other Natural Disasters by Misa Sugiura

3.0

This was a very cute read! I loved the diversity of characters, and the story included some very important messages. I liked the take on love, that sometimes it isn't enough, but to never give up.

I also found the complexity of the relationship between our MC, Nozomi, and her grandma to be extremely well written. Nozomi battled throughout the book with the decision to come out to her grandma, and in the end came to the conclusion that she felt as though she would damage her relationship if she did.

The Japanese cultural references were explained in detail, and the description of the art installation designed by Della was my favourite part of the book.

Overall I thought this book was okay. It was an enjoyable read, and I would recommend it to fans of contemporary YA.
