eleanormharte 's review for:
Love & Other Disasters
by Anita Kelly
the queer great british baking book of my dreams!! dahlia woodson is a recently divorced 28 year old contestant on chef's special, a cooking show based in los angeles. she's just flown across the country to compete - if she wins, she'll use the $100,000 prize money to pay off some of her debts. she's there for a fresh start and to try to figure out her life a bit.
she meets london parker, a nonbinary contestant who throws her off her feet - not literally, but dahlia does trip and fall during the first competition. london has a dad who refuses to use their pronouns and a fellow contestant who doesn't accept them. what they didn't expect was their sudden crush on dahlia. if london wins, they'll use the prize money to help trans kids in their home state of tennessee.
i did think the pacing on this one got a bit weird and sometimes i was confused which character was which, but the love and care with which london's story was written outweighs absolutely everything else.
