The people were right: this is even better than Delilah Green doesn't care, which I almost didn't think was possible, but here we are

BUT, where is my hot soft butch carpenter girlfriend???? And where is my cute and fluffy and fucking sexy love story???? I'm jealous, to say the least

(also, I am Astrid Parker, Astrid Parker is me... which was kind of scary, tbh)

I think I just wasn’t in the mood to read this otherwise I may have liked it a bit more. (Or maybe not who knows) I kinda had to force myself to finish once I hit 71% 😭 but I did like how the story ended overall. I also felt like Astrid was a completely different person compared to Delilah’s story but I do realize we only saw her through Delilah’s pov so that might be why. Otherwise this was okay 🤷🏽‍♀️
