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.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Delilah and Claire. They are such a sweet example of “opposites attract.” Throw in the family drama with Astrid and her wedding and you have a great plot. 

Only took a few points off for the way the characters constantly restated that Delilah was a casual relationship only type of person. That got annoying.
