I loved this book. Great fun read about friendships; how they can change throughout life and how you learn to process childhood trauma and process it together as adults. Adorable all around!

Look...I'm a sucker for a cute sapphic romance and when I had seen this cover it was love at first sight. And my dumb little self set my expectations a little too high. I mean this is still a decent read and I'd still recommend it, but the cover and everyone hyping this book up just gave me some unrealistic expectations.
I loved the focus on family and friendships in this book. I loved that one of the main characters/love interests had a child. I loved the co-parenting discussions. All of that was great. But the romance... it was lacking.
Honestly, it was more the tropes used that didn't work for me. The lack of communication, the I'm-sorta-dating-you-because-of-a-bet situation, and the weird third act breakup that occurred. And while I was rooting for the relationship, I also wasn't. I was more interested in the family drama and the sister dynamic than the romance.
When I had first finished this book, my first instinct was to give this book a 3.5-star rating, but there is just so much that personally didn't work for me. Now if this had just been a contemporary book with no romance, I would have loved it, but for it being a romance and me just feeling meh on it, I'm just disappointed. Maybe it was the audiobook idk.

I love a romance that’s easy to read and this checked all my boxes. I really like how the characters were all complex, it wasn’t just a cheesy YA. Every chapter had substance. It was also my first lesbian book and I think this was a perfect place to start, I’m excited to read the rest of the series

It’s decent. Worth a read. It was enjoyable, nothing mind blowing. I did enjoy seeing the author’s progression in her writing style and ability over the three books.

Delilah Green Doesn't Care was a fun, flirty, sapphic romance that centers around sisterhood, girl power, and finding your own family.
I loved the queer rep and the bi-positive vibes (something this world needs more of IMHO). Each of the characters were pretty well fleshed out and I adored that they were all very different. What friend pack doesn't have the sweet friend, the well-put-together friend, and the wildcard. LOL!
The romance was a decent slow burn that starts as Friends With Benefits, but you know that never works, right? *wink wink* Anyway, I saw this was dubbed a romantic comedy, but it didn't hit the comedy points quite like I usually see. Sure, there were parts that made me laugh, but no more than any other romance book. The steamy scenes were also well done. Steamy without being too erotic, which makes my inner teen boy giggle.
The only things that didn't sit well with me were the ages and then a nit-picky thing.
Let me explain: The characters of DGDC are all 30 or just shy of, but most of them read much younger for me. IMHO, the characters felt more like early 20s than going into their 30s.
As for my nit-pickiness, there were a couple of times in the first several chapters the characters note a woman being "white." This threw me out immediately each time mostly because there were no POC's in this book that I remember. All of the friends are white as are the love interests--even the men. So why note someone is "white" while in character? The author could have just said something along the lines of "fair skin" and I would have been fine. To each their own.
In any case, DGDC was a delightful read with cozy feels and heartwarming sister-bonds.
