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

Best yet.

Good plot with originality. Complicated relationships that felt like real life challenges. Great character development.

Queer Romance not centered around queer trauma

Non-trauma queer romance at its finest. Very heartwarming, sexy, and funny. The reading was well done and easy to follow.

One of my favorites!

I read “Delilah Green Doesn’t Care” by Ashley Herring Blake on ebook back when it was initially released and I loved it so much that I also picked up the audio version. Kristen DiMercurio’s narration was excellent. She did such a good job conveying all of the emotion in this book and her character voices were very distinct.

This story is marketed as a romcom, but it’s so much more than that.

It explores the messiness, complications, and complexities of family, friends, and relationships. The book is a very well written and emotional read - it’s sad, sweet, heartfelt, but also at times very funny.

“Delilah Green Doesn’t Care” gave me ALL of the feels. It’s now one of my favorites.

I already pre-ordered and am looking forward to the sequel, “Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail” by Ashley Herring Blake.
