Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake
Did not finish book. Stopped at 47%.

I was frustrated with the subtle (and not so subtle) man hating throughout the book. The only not shitty man in the whole book is the long dead father of one of the MC’s who was the perfect father and husband.

And I just didn’t care enough about the main characters. If I’m this far in and I’m not invested in them getting together at all. That’s a problem.
