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 loved this book! I’m a big fan of the best friends trying to break up their other friend and their terrible boyfriend trope and also the estranged sister coming home trope!!!! AND A ONE BED TROPE!!!!! Queer representation everywhere 🫶🫶 read this. Seriously. Right now.

hexedmaiden's review against another edition

This was the sweet little slice of romance I needed after reading so many horror books back to back. It was a classic trope of a character moving away from their hometown only to be brought back by some event and falling in love with someone from their childhood. In this case Delilah, returns for her estranged stepsister’s wedding and falls in love with her stepsister’s childhood best friend, Claire.

I’m a little bit of a sucker for a miscommunication trope, but executed well. & I was a little frustrated by it in this one just because I felt if Claire just talked to Delilah instead of assuming shit things might have gotten resolved quicker-ish. But it wasn’t the worst.

Super süß! Neben der Romance fand ich vor allem das komplexe Schwestern-Verhältnis zwischen Delilah und Astrid sehr interessant, und bin deswegen schon gespannt darauf, den zweiten Band zu lesen.
