Thank you to Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
I loved this so much!! I had a smile on my face the whole time.
Love & Other Disasters is an Adult romcom set on a cooking show. Dahlia Woodson is ready to reinvent herself, even after falling on her face in the first round of Chef's Special. London Parker has announced their pronouns on international TV for the first time and has way too many things to worry about besides the contestant in front of them falling on her face. But when London and Dahlia start talking there's an immediate connection.
This was such a cute novel! I fell in love with both London and Dahlia. I definitely shipped these two from their first interaction. I loved watching their relationship grow and change. I really wanted them both to be happy. Plus I'm such a sap for the grumpy & sunshine trope which this delivered on.
I need more baking/cooking romance novels. All the ones I've read so far I've absolutely loved.
Rep: white Italian bisexual female MC, white pansexual nonbinary MC, Asian male side character, trans male side character.
CWs: Alcohol consumption, dysphoria, sexual content, transphobia/transmisia (specifically in regards to nonbinary people). Moderate: Blood.
