I definitely enjoyed Love & Other Disasters. I do wish we had actually learned what horrible thing Lizzie said though! Both London and Dahlia were nice characters and had some decent personal growth. I appreciated most of the parts detailing London’s journey with their gender, but I do wish that we had gone a little more in depth into their self-discovery. I also liked the ultimatum they gave their dad at the end. Nice love story, somewhat relatable nonbinary character story, and delicious recipes I have to try!
