Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake
4.0
I had a great time reading this. This was cute and fun and very deep at times.
I found the writing to be very accessible. The plot which is set around the backdrop of wedding activities is one of my favourite kinds to read and the story did not disappoint in that aspect. Friendship and family are the main themes of the story and I loved how the author showcased the different kind of relationships that existed between all the characters. Each one of them were done well in their own right.
I also really liked the characters, Delilah is a flawed main character but she is also so much fun. I felt so bad for her at times because of everything that she went through growing up and how misunderstood and unloved she felt and how it affected her as an adult. I loved the growth her character got and I loved the bond she was able to form with all the other characters. The complexity of Delilah's relationship with her sister Astrid felt so raw and I think was the best part of the story. Also, definitely, a big shout out to the girlfriends group- they were awesome.
I think the weakest part of the book was its romance. I liked Claire and she and Delilah are kinda cute together. But, their relationship felt a lot insta lovey. So, while the romance was good and maybe fun at times, it didn't stood out to me especially with how complex some of the other relationships in the book were.
Overall, I found this very enjoyable and wholesome. I definitely want to read Astrid's book when it comes out!
