This is the first book in ages that I completely flew through! It was funny, lighthearted and relatable.
I highly recommend to anyone in the mood for a easy fun read or a romcom experience filled with drama and revelations!

Glad I did the audiobook of this story. Where some reviews of the written text have mentioned issues with chemistry of the main characters, the audiobook felt like the chemistry was ON POINT.
A fun story that I only wish delved but more into some of the character issues a bit more, but hey maybe that will come with the rest of the series

I am late to the Delilah Green Doesn’t Care party, but I’m so glad I am here!
There’s a lot to love about this book but these were the highlights for me:
- MC named Claire who owns a bookstore (?!) okay she has my name and my dream job?!
- Artist and talk of art throughout the book. Delilah is a photographer and I loved the various “art moments”
- Deeply detailed family and side character relationships.
- LONGING and belonging. Delilah is tough and “bitchy” but deep down she’s so wounded and it’s sad but amazing to see her find that belonging.
- Truly sizzling chemistry between the MCs
- Sense of place. Bright Falls and the characters here felt so real! It was like watching a movie!
- A realistic kid. Claire has an 11 year old daughter named Ruby and Ruby was very much a thing in this book. She was around, she was a priority. Not some random plot device.
- Roller skating date complete with falling down!
- Just general real-life mess. That relationship between the Parker-Greens is one a therapist could retire on. WHEW.
So yeah. I will definitely be reading Astrid’s book and am now hotly anticipating Iris’s!
👍🏻Recommended!! Fans of Casey McQuiston or Talia Hibbert will enjoy this. If you’re looking for a sapphic rom com with highly relatable characters and depth of feeling? This is the book for you.

Astrid's fiance is a misogynist, emotionally manipulative douche canoe. Her mom, Delilah's stepmom, is icy and controlling.howlinglibraries's review against another edition

Having sung the praises of AHB's MG and YA titles for so many years now, nobody is more disappointed than me to say that this book was a struggle. I actually set it aside 50pg in the first time I tried reading it, and had to pick it back up with an audiobook to force myself past the first few chapters because I disliked Delilah's character so much. Thankfully, the audiobook narrator was fantastic and I gradually was drawn in enough to give the story a solid chance.
In the end, Delilah slowly redeemed herself a little bit for me, but it took a very long time to get there and I still wasn't a huge fan by the time I reached the last page. I typically LOVE prickly, unlikable protagonists, but Delilah's particular flavor of attitude was so petty and self-centered that I had a hard time working past it. I will admit that I felt a lot of empathy for her unresolved traumas and I loved watching her bond with Ruby and play pranks on Astrid's disgusting groom-to-be, but I spent most of the book wishing I could tell her to grow up.
All of that said, I thought Delilah and Claire had a lot of chemistry, and I actually loved Astrid's character from the start, so I'm very eager to read the next book and see her get the love she deserves. AHB's narrative voice is engaging and fun, and I can see why so many people loved this book. I'm sad that I wasn't one of them, but I have high hopes for the sequel!
I read a final copy I purchased myself, but for the sake of disclosure, I was also sent an early review copy by the author/publisher. All thoughts are honest and my own.
✨ Representation: several sapphic (lesbian and bi) characters, one very minor side character uses they/them pronouns
