Reviews with content warning for Toxic relationship - Delilah Green não está nem aí

I have never thought of myself as romance girly, it has never been a genre I have ever really reached for but maybe this book is proving me wrong because I loved reading this book, I had such a fun time with it. I just loved the characters however I did keep thinking who was this many pre-wedding dates/events because girl what was the reason but that me just over thinking, a really small part of the book. It was just such a fun read like I don't really have a lot to say expect that I just had such a fun time with this book like there were actually a number of times that I laughed out loud and I didn't really want to read this book when I picked it up but I thought I am going to need to read at some point so why not now. I think a reason that this book was just so fun was that no only did I like the two main character as couple but I loved them as individual characters aswell. I do have one issue with this book and that some of the writing and words used screamed millennial like 'shit boot' like every time I read that, I cringed but I guess millennials are this age group, so that maybe have they talk but I don't know and I don't care because I didn't like it. I thought the whole sub-plot about how family is complicated and how they are not all prefect was really well done and doesn't seem to tell you or you should feel sorry for, you get to make your own decision which I liked. This book was just so funny, fun to read, wholesome and just really fluffy and truly had such a good time with this book and the ending just made me so happy, like I had like a warm and fluffy feelings and if you just want a fun, quick read that a whole lot of fun this book is prefect.

Here are some of my favourite moments...
Delilah & Claire first meeting
Claire calling Spencer out on his weird 'good girl' bullshit
When Delilah pushed Spencer into the lake after giving Claire her camera and pretending like it was an accident.
'To shitty men and the women who put them in their godamn place'
I just how this book show how quick queer women fall in love so quick like they have been together for what 10 days and they were both just so madly in love

‘A full, happy feeling filled Delilah’s chest as she looked at her friends, her partner, her home. She lifted her glass once more into the air, tipping it to each of them in turn. To us’- Chapter Thirty Three

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.

This was overall a sweet book and I liked being able to hear both main character's perspectives. The subplot of the difficult relationship between the two step-sisters and Claire's experience being a mom added depth to an otherwise typical contemporary romance novel. One thing that bothered me is that they are ALWAYS drinking! It seemed like every single scene someone wanted a drink, had just had a drink, or was actively drinking. And no one ever acted like it was excessive! It just got a bit repetitive eventually. But overall I enjoyed this book and want to read the sequel.

I devoured this adorable novel in less than two days and I’m genuinely not that fast of a reader, I was just obsessed. And honestly I usually don’t enjoy romance novels but this one was just so stinking cute. Absolutely recommend to anyone in need of some good sapphic smut. Only two things I was disappointed with really. First, the book talks quite a bit about inclusivity and yet as far as I could understand, every single one of the main characters in this book were white. Literally the only people of color were either side characters or the subjects of Delilah’s art, and I feel like I could take an entire essay to unpack that…Anyways the second thing is gonna seem very silly compared to that, but I was a tiny bit disappointed that this was sold to me as a “bookstore romance” but there are only two whole scenes inside the bookstore. That’s all to say I truly enjoyed this book and would recommend it, but was confused by the lack of POC.
