This book was difficult to get through because I didn't love Delilah's character. She was similar to Josh and I didn't appreciate the comparison of those two characters. The ending was predictable and didn't have a grand resolution. I also didn't connect well with Claire, but I desperately wanted too I just wish she was the main focus in the book and not Delilah because she had more conflicts in her life to deal with.

I adored this book and devoured it in 24 hours! The two leads had fantastic chemistry and individual personalities. I liked all the secondary characters and am excited to read about some of them getting their own stories. A lovely little F/F rom-com.

This was a great little fluffy read. It was so nice to see two women fall in love. 

At times the book was a little cringey or cliche and sometimes the characters were a bit immature but I think it’s because they had a lot of unresolved trauma. I really liked Iris and Delilah’s back and forth banter. It was nice to see how these ladies’ relationships developed. The sex scenes were very beautiful and well-written. I did feel like sometimes the author over emphasized their queerness and feminism to the point where the sentence was a little awkward or cringey.

All in all a very cute read. I enjoyed it.

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
