Thank you Netgalley and Berkley for an arc, here is my honest review.

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care is everything I need in a romance book, queer women falling in love while dealing with the difficulties that come with life.
Loneliest is always a topic in romance books, but I think this is the first time I felt that it was written well. Delilah is a new comfort character for me and I cried a few times reading her POV.
Delilah and Claire’s chemistry is just written so perfectly and I understand why they fell for each other. And although they fell in love in such a short amount of time, it didn’t feel like insta-love.
One of the main issues many romance books have is how side characters are written. At times, side characters are forgotten which leaves the story feeling empty. Thankfully, this didn’t happen here and most side characters had great development. Everyone but Iris, I wanted to learn more about her, but that never happened.
Overall, I love this book and can’t wait for the next book, which is about Astrid(Delilah’s sister)
