Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake

Some books just make you feel good. This is one of them.

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care is a clever, steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love—with all its complications.

Delilah swore she’d never go back to Bright Falls. Nothing’s there for her but memories of a lonely childhood and a cold stepfamily who treated her like a burden. Her life is in New York now, where her photography career is finally taking off and her bed is never empty.

But when her estranged stepsister Astrid guilt-trips her (and bribes her with a five-figure check) into shooting the wedding, Delilah finds herself right back in the town she fled. The plan? Breeze in, breeze out. That is, until she spots Claire Sutherland—one of Astrid’s stuck-up besties—and decides a little fun might be in order after all.

Claire, a devoted single mom running her own bookstore, depends on a life without surprises. And Delilah is the most unwelcome surprise of all… at first.

What follows is a slow-burn, button-pushing, swoon-worthy delight. There’s banter. There’s chemistry. There’s a deliciously satisfying plot to save Astrid from her terrible fiancé.

From the author of Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail, this is the perfect curl-up-and-read pick for a salty, rainy afternoon in the cove. As one bookseller (a fellow shop owner, after all) we couldn’t help but adore Claire and her little bookstore.

Cozy up, linger over the pages, and let yourself fall.
