Both were loveable characters, and their determination in trusting themselves as individuals.
Anita Kelly pulled off writing from both perspectives very well, which brought a lot more depth to Dahlia and London. It is fresh and engaging, and I read through it in just one sitting. I found the romance a lot more realistic in terms of building interest in one another compared to most romances that I have read, and I think the book is a great gateway into more adult romance. Notably, London is also non-binary, and their experiences with coming out and moving through life as non-binary are explored with respect and sensitivity, which I appreciated.
The story follows Dahlia and London as they compete in the TV cooking competition, "Chef's Special," and navigate their feelings for one another. I am so glad I picked it up because I was absolutely buzzing after reading it and have not stopped thinking about it since. While I am normally not picking up romances, Love & Other Disasters is easily one of my new favorites. But as the finale draws near, Dahlia and London’s steamy relationship starts to feel the heat both in and outside the kitchen-and they must figure out if they have the right ingredients for a happily ever after.
