Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake

4.0

Delilah has always sworn that she wouldn’t return to Bright Falls where there is nothing for her but lonely childhood memories with a distant stepfamily. She is a photographer in New York and her business is finally picking up. Astrid is Delilah’s estranged stepsister and has pressured Delilah into being the photographer for her wedding with a guilt trip and a large check. Delilah finds herself returning to Bright Falls with the plan of getting in and out as quickly as possible. That’s until she sees Claire – Astrid’s best friend. Claire has raised an 11-year old daughter mostly on her own while running a bookstore and dealing with her unreliable ex. Her life depends on no surprises, but Delilah is a surprise she could never have imagined. 

DELILAH GREEN DOESN’T CARE is such a sweet read and I am so happy that I finally picked it up! The story is told in dual POV, Delilah’s and Claire’s, which the author transitions seamlessly between within each chapter. 

I loved getting to know both Claire and Delilah throughout their story and I absolutely adored both of them. They’re both written so realistically and are quite relatable. Claire and Delilah’s chemistry is well-written and tangible. I really enjoyed the dynamic that builds between the two. 

Each of the main characters go through some self-realizations that were interesting to witness and added growth to their characters. I enjoyed the underlying themes of taking chances and accepting love. 

Lastly, I really enjoyed the relationships that develop between each woman featured in this story and am so excited to see what the remainder of this trilogy has in store for each of them.
