Delilah Green Doesn't Care

By: Ashley Herring Blake

Narrated by: Kristen DiMercurio

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...

Critic reviews

"Blake captures all the complications of family, friendship, and romance with humor and heart."—Kirkus

"There's family drama, trauma, childhood memories, love, romance, diverse relationships between not just the main couple, but everyone in the book, that'll have you on the edge of your seat. The novel also does a great job of inputting a queer love story in the middle of an enticing read."—USA Today

"Delilah Green Doesn’t Care is a hot, frothy romcom with a relatable heart beating at its centre. I loved every hilarious character, every outrageous shenanigan - and most of all, I loved Delilah Green. I can’t wait for the rest of the series!"—Talia Hibbert, New York Times bestselling author of Act Your Age, Eve Brown

THEE. BEST.

Finally! A novel with well developed characters that doesn't rely on stupid decisions, simple misunderstandings, or a basic lack of communication to drive the plot. One of the best I've found on this site.

All the feels!

What a special book. Each chapter just got sweeter, more intriguing, hotter, and funnier. The narration was fantastic! This one goes in my top 5!

Heartwarming

Okay I’m the kinda person who loves a cheesy romance and that’s basically what this is. Yes it was a little predictable but it was great none the less. I’m a sucker for the sunshine x grump and one bed tropes and that gave me just that

cute love story

cute love story. the main characters were believable and easy to enjoy. they sparkled off the pages.

Great book!

I LOVED this story!! The narrators voice annoyed me for awhile but I got over it.

Loved it

Overall the storyline was very organized and the characters were given life and personality. I personally enjoyed the positive ending.

nicely told without bierasure

it's been hard to find good books with leading bisexual characters, but this is one. hot and provoking, thank you.

Very nearly perfect

This may be a classic formula, a basic plot but the characters were all dynamic, no one of them annoying. I adored the FMC and the main Love interest. The positive portrayal of co-parenting. The reality of human interaction and misinterpretation. And how honesty is always better. I loved it! I plan on readying the second book. Astrid was relatable, especially by the end.

Cheesy cute ass lovey dovey crap!!

Haha pretty pretty good non the less!!
Super cute and pretty cool a little easy to guess next moves but good still.

Good story with lots of nice subplots.

Not your typical romance novel. Loved the variety of characters. subplots allowed you to be interested in characters other than. the leads. Nice writing!
