The story itself had me hooked almost instantly and it stayed that way. I really enjoyed the alternating POVs, which really made sense in this case and added a lot. All the characters have a distinct personality, no mary sues here!
There's some smut scenes that were incredibly good and I thoroughly enjoyed those too. The emotions came across so vividly, it was lovely <3 The narrator did a phenomenal job too!

The characters are all rather clichee. The bad girl only looking for sex because
Delilah, the main character, felt like a 15-years-old (boy) with her behaviour at times (come on woman, you're 29, it's time to self-reflect). The way the pairing thought about each other (but especially Delilah) felt quite objectifying at times and reminded me of the way men are usually written. I couldn't really connect to their romantic chemistry.
Overall this wasn't a bad read per se, though 2.25 stars may beg to differ. The topic is served right, but there were too many aspects that already bothered me while reading. I guess I read to many (better) Wattpad stories like that in my teenage years, so that a romance like that doesn't impress me much anymore.

I did enjoy this book, but I like the sequel better. I do like how all the characters are interconnected in this series. I love expanded universes.

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.
Read this book if you love
💜 Sapphic romance
💜 found family
💜 only one bed
💜 grumpy/sunshine
💜 single parent
💜 strong female friendship
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
