Delilah Green Doesn't Care
A clever and steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love--with all its complications--from the author of Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail. Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls--nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it's a different woman every night, but that's just fine with her. When Delilah's estranged stepsister, Astrid, pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a five-figure check, Delilah finds herself back in the godforsaken town that she used to call home. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid's stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there's some fun (and a little retribution) to be had in Bright Falls, after all. Having raised her eleven-year-old daughter mostly on her own while dealing with her unreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire Sutherland depends upon a life without surprises. And Delilah Green is an unwelcome surprise...at first. Though they've known each other for years, they don't really know each other--so Claire is unsettled when Delilah figures out exactly what buttons to push. When they're forced together during a gauntlet of wedding preparations--including a plot to save Astrid from her horrible fiancé--Claire isn't sure she has the strength to resist Delilah's charms. Even worse, she's starting to think she doesn't want to...

I loved, loved, loved this book. The humor, the chemistry, Iris, just about everything was damn near perfect. Iris is my spirit animal.
I particularly liked the change in Delilah's perception of past events and situations. Because life is like that. We grow, we learn, we change, and we're able to see things differently with distance and experience. That's what a lot of this book is about. But it's also about connection, humor, and love. And very well written which isn't always a given with our little genre. So bonus!
Definitely goes on the re-read stack.

This book is probably exactly what you expect, and that's not a bad thing. The romance develops nicely, but it does fall prey to some lack of communication tropes to create drama. It works out. I liked that in addition to the romance the characters had other development going on like Delilah with her sister and Claire with her daughter's father. I liked the alternating POVs because Delilah and Claire were different enough that their narrative perspectives were distinct. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
liked this book but I think I liked Iris and Stevie's story better. I'll be reading Astrid's story next.
