I've been putting off reading this because I loved Delilah's story so much that I was afraid the rest of the series wouldn't measure up. Unfortunately, this one let me down a bit. Astrid was uptight and unlikeable. I wanted to throw a chill pill at her everytime I was in her POV. I can empathize with her difficult family situation and I did love the found family between her, Delilah, Claire, and Jordan and that this was dual POV, alternating between Astrid and Jordan. I do want to read Iris's story, but will be going in with lower expectations. I recommend this series on audio.

Initially I found it a little heard to love Astrid, and there were a couple moments throughout the book where that feeling came back, but aside from that I really liked Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail. I love that it’s about someone figuring out their queerness a little later in life and Jordan was great. Plus, it was nice to be back with the friend group from Delilah’s.

Loooved this glimpse into Astrid’s life, especially after only briefly getting to know her through Delilah’s perspective in the last book. Her story resonated with me so much, and it was just such an enjoyable read!
