Plus, I truly enjoyed every moment of the pre-wedding drama and the face-palm worthy schemes Delilah, Claire and Iris came up with. From the moment I laid eyes on this gorgeous cover, I knew that I’d fall madly in love with this story. This episode of Behind the Mic is sponsored by the audiobook editions of Sherryl Woods’s Sweet Magnolias series.

I just love Delilah’s rough edges, tender heart, snarky attitude, frank manner of speaking and her beautiful tattoos! This is definitely a well-written, character driven novel with dual points of view from Delilah and Claire. A toxic relationship with a step-parent and past parental death were mentioned several times and those issues could be triggers for some readers. Photographer Delilah Green fled her hometown as soon as she could, desperate to escape both her stepsister Astrid and painful memories of her late father. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss this story of coming back to a dreaded hometown, and finding love—while also causing a fair amount of chaos.I couldn’t get enough of the sexual tension and the steamy moments between Claire and Delilah and I got all the feels when I watched them slowly fall in love with each other. Delilah’s entire world was turned upside down when her estranged stepsister, Astrid, guilt trips her into photographing her wedding.

If you’re in the mood to devour a rom-com that focuses on complicated family relationships, quirky friendships, healing from a lonely childhood and embracing your authentic self in all of your messy glory, then this is the perfect story for you! Her life in New York isn’t a bed of roses but her photography career is finally getting the recognition it deserves and she always has a steady supply of no-strings-attached hookups.We keep our daily episodes short and sweet, with audiobook clips to give you a sample of our featured listens. Claire stole a huge chunk of my heart as well because she will go above and beyond for her friends and family members and I can totally relate to some of the difficulties she has to deal with as a single parent.

Can Delilah and Claire stop Astrid from making the biggest mistake of her life without breaking their own hearts in the process? Welcome to the Book Marks Questionnaire, where we ask authors questions about the books that have shaped them. This costs you nothing extra and allows me to keep running the site and offering free reviews, newsletters and social groups. Delilah wants to keep her visit as brief as possible, but when she lays eyes on Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid’s closest friends, she thinks it’s the perfect opportunity for her to have some fun and get a bit of revenge as well.

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care has earned its rightful place on my comfort reads bookshelf because it’s witty, charming and heart-tugging at the same time.

DiMecurio smoothly switches between their perspectives, capturing their distinct personalities and leaning into the story’s humor and heart.Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake is a highly entertaining queer romantic comedy that focuses on strained family relationships and finding love and a sense of belonging where you least expect it. This woman was funny and sexy and adorably unsure of herself, and for a split second, Delilah forgot who she actually was.
