The conclusion to the Bright Falls trilogy. Iris Kelly finally meets the love of her life, in a wacky series of events involving a one night stand gone wrong, a all-queer production of Much Ado About Nothing and the most genre-savvy fake dating plotline I've ever read. Fun and spicy.

Genuine and self-aware, Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date (starring the relatable, perpetually single Iris and the relatable, sweet Stevie) conveys its central method strongly: we all deserve to love and to be loved. It  is the best installment of  Bright Falls, cementing the trilogy in my romance series hall of fame and Ashley Herring Blake as an instant read.

I was so excited to read Iris's book in the Bright Falls series! I loved the first book about Claire and Delilah, I loved the second book about Astrid and Jordan even more, and I loved this book as well. Iris plays a bit of a comic relief role in the previous two books, and it was great to see her character expanded in her own perspective and to get more of her history. Stevie really helped highlight the softer and more serious aspects of Iris while also being relatable and compelling in her own right. I found the portrayal of Stevie's anxiety to be well done, I particularly related to her experience of anxiety over the expectations of her loved ones. There were a couple of lines in her chapters that I've said to myself almost exactly. I do have one nitpick, and that's the overuse of "simply" and "just." As in: "she simply smiled" or "she just laughed." It may have been more noticeable on the audiobook, but I do think some of these should have been edited out. Very small nitpick, though! This is a beautiful finale to this series about friendship and love in all forms, I totally teared up at the end.

This series has my whole heart. I loved Iris as a side character, and was glad to get her love story. I need to reread Delilah and Astrid now.
