Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for the ARC! (Even though I'm just now posting this today, the day the book is released...) I ADORED this book and already want to read it again. I was immediately drawn to it by the cover and the premise - a cooking competition show and a romance between a queer woman and her nonbinary competitor? Yes please. This book is incredibly charming and the chemistry between the two main characters is immediate and palpable. Their POV chapters felt distinct and let the reader get to know each of them as individuals. It's impossible not to feel for them as they both struggle with changes in their lives and how to navigate this newfound attraction when their fates on the show are so constantly uncertain. Amazing representation, a fun and heartfelt story, and I highly recommend picking it up!
