About Delilah Green Doesn’t Care
DELILAH GREEN DOESN’T CARE by Ashley Herring Blake is a funny, tender, second chance queer romance.
As a teen, Delilah felt ostracized by her stepmother and stepsisterAstrid after her father died and left her an orphan. She left home at 18 to pursue her photography career, never looking back. So she’s shocked when her stepmother asks her to be the photographer at Astrid’s wedding. She knows going back to Bright Falls will be tough but she needs the money.
On her first evening back, Delilah heads to a bar and spots members of The Coven, Astrid’s high school friends who Mean Girled her. Evidently they don’t recognize her because one of them, Claire, starts hitting on her…
My thoughts about Delilah Green Doesn’t Care
The story’s told in alternating POV between Delilah and Claire which gives a yin/yang energy. Delilah’s rough around the edges and holds her emotions close to her chest, wary of letting anyone get close. Claire’s more open with her emotions, softer and warmer.
Lots of complicated relationships – familial, friendship, and romantic. Lots of emotions to unpack. My favorite part is that the entire book is about women supporting each other – as friends, lovers, family members.
Lots of giggly moments and some deeply swoony ones.
In conclusion
This was an absolute delight of a queer romance, women’s fiction with insta-attraction, forced proximity, family drama, and cute kid moments.
Thank you NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC.
