Queen B’s Decree: I don’t know if words can express how much I loved Love & Other Disasters. Look at this list of all the amazing things it contained!
- diverse representation (queer + non-binary)
- reality TV cooking show
- steamy sex scenes
- CURLY HAIR
Dahlia and London were amazing characters. Dahlia is recently divorced and broke, and working through her insecurities and feeling like a failure. London is more privileged but is struggling with misgendering and acceptance from their family since coming out as non-binary. They have a bit of a grumpy/sunshine trope going on at first until their relationship progresses. While they are at a competition and everything is fast-paced, the progression still felt realistic.
The struggles they both go through was so relatable and made their story feel more real to me. Regarding the steam, I was happily surprised by how hot the scenes were and they really gave me all the feels.
Love & Other Disasters is already one of my favorite books of 2022. I SAID IT.
