This was a great little fluffy read. It was so nice to see two women fall in love.
At times the book was a little cringey or cliche and sometimes the characters were a bit immature but I think it’s because they had a lot of unresolved trauma. I really liked Iris and Delilah’s back and forth banter. It was nice to see how these ladies’ relationships developed. The sex scenes were very beautiful and well-written. I did feel like sometimes the author over emphasized their queerness and feminism to the point where the sentence was a little awkward or cringey.
All in all a very cute read. I enjoyed it.

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care was the queer love story I didn’t know I needed.
This book is so good! The queer joy, the family dynamics, the cute relationship vibes, the TRUST! Delilah Green absolutely cares about so many things and so many people, and seeing her flourish was so lovely and heartwarming.

This was my first time reading a single parent romance and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! It’s definitely made me more open to other single parent books in the future.
I will definitely be reading the rest of the Bright Falls books. 4.5 stars

It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but there is near constant mention of alcohol and wanting alcohol to cope with situations. It’s not bad, but if you’re sensitive to discussions of alcohol this might not be for youhayleyvem's review against another edition

This was cute but read younger than it was, which was annoying at times. It had very nice moments that I enjoyed greatly.

10/10. One of the best romance books I've read maybe ever. Definitely one of the best sapphic books I've read. Also, I made the most highlights and notes of maybe any other books. I almost wanted to highlight the whole book, it was that good. I don't want to compare two sapphic books just because they were sapphic but one of my other favorite sapphic romance is One Last Stop and in that book, the main character is very me but in this book, the love interest (Claire) is very me. Also, in One Last Stop, the love interest (Jane) is very much my type but in this book, the main character (Delilah). I love Delilah and Claire more than almost anything else right now. They are both so vulnerable and desperate for love. Also, the sexual tension and sex scenes in this book are just phenomenal. On a final note, Ashley Herring Blake’s writing made me feel so deeply. I absolutely devoured this book and ended up reading 50% of it, no exaggeration, in one day which is not typical for me. In addition to the amazing writing, I also enjoyed how the third-person POV alternated between Delilah and Claire to get both of their perspectives while also maintaining that the main character is still Delilah. Overall, I think I’m late to the game since I see this book recommended everywhere but I am joining those voices to say that this book is incredible and that I highly, highly recommend it if you love sapphic contemporary romances.
