Hey HBs! Mel and Sabrina are here with LOVE & OTHER DISASTERS by Anita Kelly! This queer contemporary romance is set on an amateur cooking show. Dahlia is a divorcee who quit her job to be there and doesn't quite know how she'll pay rent if she doesn't win the $100k prize. Meanwhile, London is the show's first non-binary contestant, this is their national coming out declaration, and they want to use the money to start a non-profit to support queer kids where they live. They may be competitors, but they're attracting HARD from the first moment they (literally) bump into each other! Y'all, the gender, sexual orientation, and label representation in this book is AMAZING! We loved it. Bonus Content: Sabrina gives us a #NemesisWatch 2024 update, the gals give dating advice to all the queer listeners out there (based on reading list data!), the gals want that cow story gosh darn it, Sabrina is the head of a Pinky-Heavy Household, and no one had to draft an angry spice level letter they would never (ever) send, and so much more! Please check out today's sponsor: A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME by Mary McMyne is out now in all formats, so go get this sapphic romantic fantasy historical set in Shakespeare Times!!!!! Lady Loves Mel: Hey, you know those half-finished projects that are languishing around your homestead? Getting them done is going to feel great! Mel had a fern she needed to divide and plant and hosting a 4th of July get-together was the perfect push to make it finally happen. Amazing! Sabrina: Do you have a giant project hanging over your head that you're borrowing worries over? Just starting it helps SO MUCH! Slay that dragon, y'all. Subscribe! Rate! Review!
