Reviews with content warning for Cursing - Delilah Green Doesn't Care

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. I have not read a good non-fantasy romance in a while. The only issues I had with this story is some parts were a tad cringey and some parts felt like it dragged/went into crazy detail but I feel like with the latter issue, it's only a problem for me because I'm use to romances that are written with less detail.
The story also made me feel a lot of anxiety and sadness which I did not expect. It's not a bad thing because the author does an AMAZING job conveying those emotions and getting you sucked into what the main characters are feeling. I also loved that while I was reading, I kept guessing and assuming the worst was going to happen because some of these characters have bad trauma and hurt people hurt people but it didn't happen.
I love reading characters that communicate efficiently, set boundaries and showcase healthy and mature behavior. Claire and Delilah were so cute together, and such loveable characters with amazing character development.
I also appreciated how there was no super uncomfortable scenes that focused on someone coming out/homophobia. There were so many queer people and no uncomfyness or anything that induced a *side eye*
I instantly started the next book after this.

This book was difficult to get through because I didn't love Delilah's character. She was similar to Josh and I didn't appreciate the comparison of those two characters. The ending was predictable and didn't have a grand resolution. I also didn't connect well with Claire, but I desperately wanted too I just wish she was the main focus in the book and not Delilah because she had more conflicts in her life to deal with.

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.

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

I don’t know who I related too more - Delilah or Claire (or even Astrid, actually) but MAN this story tugged at my heart. And it had some goood spice to boot! 🥵 🌶️

Is anyone else into the Enneagram and finds yourself typing characters as you read books?

I went back and forth on Delilah the whole time - either 4w3 or 8w9. By the end I was leaning 8w9. Claire is a 9w1, Astrid a 1w9, and Iris a 8w7. I will take no other opinions, those three are just facts lol

I also tried something new with this read! This was my first experience with audio books and I gotta say… it’s not for me. Full respect to those who prefer them, but I am a paperback, physical copy girlie for life I only listened to a few chapters off and on near the end of the book while I was at work, but it felt… idk. Emotionless? There just wasn’t the UMPH behind the words that my own brain puts in. I guess I’ll go back to reading just a little slower as time allows for me to pick up my physical books.
