Delilah Green Doesn't Care (Bright Falls, #1)

Enjoyment: 5.0Quality: 5.0Characters: 4.0Plot: 5.0

A clever and steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love—with all its complications—from the author of Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail . Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it’s a different woman every night, but that’s just fine with her.   When Delilah’s estranged stepsister, Astrid, pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a five-figure check, Delilah finds herself back in the godforsaken town that she used to call home. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid’s stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there’s some fun (and a little retribution) to be had in Bright Falls, after all.   Having raised her eleven-year-old daughter mostly on her own while dealing with her unreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire Sutherland depends upon a life without surprises. And Delilah Green is an unwelcome surprise…at first. Though they’ve known each other for years, they don’t really know each other—so Claire is unsettled when Delilah figures out exactly what buttons to push. When they’re forced together during a gauntlet of wedding preparations—including a plot to save Astrid from her horrible fiancé—Claire isn’t sure she has the strength to resist Delilah’s charms. Even worse, she’s starting to think she doesn’t want to...

    I think maybe I just love Astrid a little too much? I was pretty focused on her story in this book.

    I DO love Delilah though.

    Wonderful queer romance book. Deep character moments and cute relationship building. Wish there had been a bit more of the side plot, but loved it nonetheless. Some spice as well.

    [[thank you to netgalley for providing me this arc!]]

    delilah green doesn't care was an adorable read, and normally something that i do not read. however, this cover drew me in, and i was interested in the story it had to tell. i have also not read a fully queer book EVER, which is odd for me; i'm not one to not focus on something like this. i suppose i had just never read a book where the main plotline, other than shenanigans, was queer romance. i also don't read too many romance books.

    this book was fun to read. i did have my problems at first (delilah acting like a teenager at the beginning), but the character growth was excellent. every character had their own shining personality. dialogue was excellent, and the friendship between iris and delilah had me laughing out loud. setting was lovely, and reminded me of my own hometown. because i don't live there anymore, it gave me a bit of a nostalgia kick.

    i will say, there was quite a bit of repetition in this book. a little too much. but it's always good to be reminded of certain plot aspects.

    if you want a good read
    i will FOR SURE be reading the next book in the "series" - astrid parker doesn't fail.
