About this listen
The first openly nonbinary contestant on America’s favorite cooking show falls for their clumsy competitor in this delicious romantic-comedy debut “that is both fantastically fun and crack your heart wide open vulnerable” (Rosie Danan, author of The Roommate).
Recently divorced and on the verge of bankruptcy, Dahlia Woodson is ready to reinvent herself on the popular reality competition show Chef’s Special. Too bad the first memorable move she makes is falling flat on her face, sending fish tacos flying - not quite the fresh start she was hoping for. Still, she's focused on winning, until she meets someone she might want a future with more than she needs the prize money.
After announcing their pronouns on national television, London Parker has enough on their mind without worrying about the klutzy competitor stationed in front of them. They’re there to prove the trolls - including a fellow contestant and their dad - wrong, and falling in love was never part of the plan.
As London and Dahlia get closer, reality starts to fall away. Good-bye, guilt about divorce, anxiety about uncertain futures, and stress from transphobia. Hello, hilarious shenanigans on set, wedding crashing, and spontaneous dips into the Pacific. 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.

Everyone around Iris Kelly is in love. Her best friends are all coupled up, her siblings have partners that are perfect for them, and her parents are still blissfully married. And she’s happy for all of them, truly. Iris doesn’t want any of that—dating, love, romance. She’ll stick to her commitment-free hookups, thanks very much, except no one in her life will just let her be. Everyone wants to see her settled down, but she holds firmly to her no dating rule. There’s only one problem—Iris is a romance author facing an imminent deadline for her second book, and she’s completely out of ideas.

Elle Jones, one of the astrologers behind the popular Twitter account, Oh My Stars, dreams of finding her soul mate.

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

Second, given how terrible her romantic track record is, falling in love isn't in the cards for her. And third, Christmas only brings her bad luck - being broken up with not once, not twice, but three times during the holidays is proof enough of that.

Critic reviews
"Sweet and sexy and wholly delicious. I'm head over heels for these two delightful disasters - three if you count Dahlia's magnificent hair as a separate character. Anita Kelly writes with tremendous warmth and care, and these pages shine with joy." (Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of The Ex Talk)
“Kelly writes wildly charming, exquisitely vibrant, and achingly tender prose and has a unique gift for making readers feel safe, loved, and understood within her pages. This story is both fantastically fun and crack your heart wide open vulnerable. I can’t wait to buy it for everyone I’ve ever met.” (Rosie Danan, author of The Roommate)
"Sweet, spicy, with characters you won’t forget! I loved Dahlia and London’s growing chemistry and witty banter in this amazing foodie romance that had me wanting to eat all the food! But the perfect ingredient in this delicious story was watching how they each carved out space in their lives for each other." (Farah Heron, author of Accidentally Engaged)

The summer I graduated from high school, I raced out of my small Virginian town to seek my culinary dreams in the big city. I couldn't afford New York City, though, so I settled in Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love wasn't The Big Apple, but it had its charms and pockets of culinary splendor. I hadn't minded because it was only temporary. After culinary school, I planned to do as I'd been dying to do since I was a little girl and roam the earth and splurge on its fruits. More than five years later, I was still in Philly.

Losing your ability to speak at the age of 17; it's not normal or fair. But trauma has a way of throwing normality out the window. Dani lives anything but a normal life: her sister is married to one of the biggest names in Hollywood, her best friends are rock stars, and she has more love around her than most people experience in a lifetime. But that doesn't change the fact their parents are dead, or that it's her fault. It seems her new normal is being a mute, living on the inside, unable to actually communicate on the outside.

Regret, she's a snarky little bitch. I've tried several times to regret the events that took place on June 5, 2008, but for the life of me, I can't. I'd never regret the pain, the suffering, or the heartache because they ultimately led me to the place I am in now. And I can't regret the place I am in now. What I still can't figure out is this: How is it possible that the single worst day of my life inadvertently became the very best day? Five years ago my life was irrevocably changed. Seventeen minutes was all it took to lose my best friend, to lose the love of my life.

Before I knew what was happening, I'd signed up for six weeks in paradise, isolated on an island for 42 days with a complete stranger. And when I finally laid eyes on the sexy brunette who belonged to that voice, a part of me thought this wouldn't be so bad.

She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.

Grace Henderson has been a star of the US Women’s National Team for ten years, even though she’s only 26. But when she’s sidelined with an injury, a bold new upstart, Phoebe Matthews, takes her spot. Phoebe is everything Grace isn’t—a gregarious jokester who plays with a joy that Grace lost somewhere along the way. The last thing Grace expects is to become friends with benefits with this class clown she sees as her rival.

DNF
I just got bored. It felt kind of like an instructional video on transphobia. I suspect if I was non-binary I might find it soothing. I have enjoyed some books like that about identities I own. But a couple hours in and nothing has actually happened other than the characters existing. I was hoping for a little food porn to keep me interested but the dishes are boring too.

I love seeing this kind of representation
I loved reading a romance with a non-binary main character. Everyone regardless of gender identity deserves a happy ending and I love to see representation in romance!! Love and Other Disasters is a fun romance that takes place on the set of a reality cooking show. I liked the chemistry between Dahlia and London and was rooting for them. One plot line I wish had been resolved better is Dahlia’s feelings that she didn’t get as much attention on the show as London or Lizzy on the show because she wasn’t as controversial.

Fantastic Love Story
I loved every aspect of this love story. The narrator was perfect despite a few mistakes with the non- binary pronouns and a few words. To me it made it more realistic because I make those mistakes too at times. I felt both MCs struggles as they came to understand their own identities and their feelings for each other…. It was extremely special to be a part of it behind the backdrop of a cooking competition which I loved…I cannot wait to read more from Anita Kelly

Sweet & sexy queer love story
I really enjoyed this book. I loved that there was non-binary representation and presence of both supportive but also realistically difficult family relationships. The narrator did a great job creating distinct voices for the various characters, making it an easy listen. The love between the MCs was so sweet, my little gay heart loved it!

Adorable
Totally worth reading! My first time listening to a book with an obviously Non-Binary lead and it was so well written! If you’re usually a fan of sapphic/wlw romance, don’t brush past this one! The story is so sweet and worth the read.

3.5 Stars
For the most part, I enjoyed Love & Other Disasters. I liked the characters and I liked the premise. The whole cooking show aspect was fun but I think it could have been executed a bit better in term of the scenes and aspects of it that were shown. The pacing was slow and, at times, I found myself getting bored and easily distracted. This book is LGBTQ+ friendly. The main characters were Dahlia and London. London is nonbinary and Dahlia is Queer. While Dahlia and London had chemistry, it seemed a bit insta-love. I would have preferred to have this book told in first person since I connect more to romance stories when they are first person POV. This is actually the first book I’ve read with a nonbinary main character. I would love to read more. Overall, I am giving this book 3.5 stars. The narration was really good. No complaints there.

Cute and easy read
A cute and light LGBTQIA+ love story. A fun and easy read (listen). Enjoyed the discussion of topics of pronouns and consent within a relationship.

Loved!
This was an amazing book. I loved the romance and the friendships London and Dahlia made with the other contestants. The relationship between London and Dahlia is something to hope for. They're so sweet.
