I am late to the Delilah Green Doesn’t Care party, but I’m so glad I am here!

There’s a lot to love about this book but these were the highlights for me:

MC named Claire who owns a bookstore (?!) okay she has my name and my dream job?!
Artist and talk of art throughout the book. Delilah is a photographer and I loved the various “art moments”
Deeply detailed family and side character relationships.
LONGING and belonging. Delilah is tough and “bitchy” but deep down she’s so wounded and it’s sad but amazing to see her find that belonging.
Truly sizzling chemistry between the MCs
Sense of place. Bright Falls and the characters here felt so real! It was like watching a movie!
A realistic kid. Claire has an 11 year old daughter named Ruby and Ruby was very much a thing in this book. She was around, she was a priority. Not some random plot device.
Roller skating date complete with falling down!
Just general real-life mess. That relationship between the Parker-Greens is one a therapist could retire on. WHEW.

So yeah. I will definitely be reading Astrid’s book and am now hotly anticipating Iris’s!

👍🏻Recommended!! Fans of Casey McQuiston or Talia Hibbert will enjoy this. If you’re looking for a sapphic rom com with highly relatable characters and depth of feeling? This is the book for you.
