Super cute book. I had read the first of the characters so it’s really nice to see them in a new light. I loved all the callbacks to the first book and seeing a character I had not really enjoyed in the beginning of the series really work through some of her flaws. There are some really good diversity in this book, touching on different types of sexualities, identities and backgrounds. Overall very cute story and a nice read if you need something lighthearted and fun.

The second book in the series as amazing as the first, I identified with the characters far less but I still loved them. Especially the newest character to arrive in bright falls, she had a good depth to her and was an interesting add to the story line.

I may have fallen asleep hard for this book as I did for the first book, Delilah Green Doesn’t Care. The spicy scenes are delicious, the character development is fabulous, the scene building is gorgeous, the friendships are heartwarming, and the writing rocks! This story and these characters dug into my soul as I did theirs, and I’m helplessly attached. Thank god there’s a third book in the series!

LOVED this sequel to the Bright Falls series. In Delilah’s book, I definitely wanted to know more about Astrid, and this was such a wonderful way to get to know her. In addition to having a dual perspective with the new love interest Jordan Everwood!! Hot but realistic smut, brief relationship angst but ends totally happy, lovely discovery of sexuality. I can’t wait to read more in this series!

10/10. Quick review: This is one of the fastest books I've read this year. I read over 100 pages in a day and stayed up until 3 AM reading (which is not normal for me). I relate so much to both Astrid and Jordan in different ways and I love them both so much. They are both so tender and vulnerable. This romance gave me all of the emotions. I was expecting more of Claire, Delilah, and Iris but also Astrid even admitted it is hard for her to confide in anyone about her feelings. I highly recommend and I will be reading the third book very soon.
