Holy crap, did I live this one! It was fun from the moment it started until the very end. Not to mention that it had all the lgbtq+ rep!

I loved Dahlia and London. They were so funny and I liked that they had this grumpy x sunshine vibe going. I also liked that Dahlia wasn’t afraid to go after what she wanted. And London was honestly the most relatable person. They were so anxious and easily annoyed and just in their head about everything. I loved the way they got so comfortable with each other in the kitchen and cooking together (and being petty together 😂).

I think the only a couple of things they really lost me in this story. One of them being the food sex scene. That just…😬. The entire time I was reading the scene it just made me think of how much of a mess it would be to clean up. That’s a big ol’ nope from me, thanks. The other thing that lost me was that Dahlia and London went from good(ish) communication to bad really quick. And neither of them were listening to the other. That isn’t my favorite thing in romances, but I liked the way that it worked out in the end.

Love & Other Disasters was a lovely read all around. This book is getting a four and a half stars. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

My new top romance pick to recommend!

If I were Paul Hollywood, I would give this book a handshake (iykyk) 😍

Love and Other Disasters deserves a spot on my favorite romance shelf, right next to Boyfriend Material and Red, White, and Royal Blue. It showcased this gorgeous, sexy, wonderful, healthy relationship, these vibrant, loud, messy characters in love, and a delicious helping of mouth-watering descriptions of food.

A little synopsis" "The first openly nonbinary contestant on America’s favorite cooking show falls for their clumsy competitor in this delicious romantic comedy debut".

I'm so in love with Daliah and London and will forever be crying over their adorable cinnamon-roll-loves-a-tornando relationship

A super cute queer romance.
I loved the reality TV cooking show background and all the TV shenanigans, honestly I wanted even more of that.
Both characters are great, I loved London of course, it's rare to get good non-binary characters in romance, and the way the author gendered them correctly even when the transphobic woman on the show didn't was beautiful, I love that level of respect to their character. I also loved Dahlia's messy and spontaneous personnality.
The romance was delightful, very sweet, with hot sex scenes. It was a simple, efficient and joyful read.
