Delilah Green Doesn't Care
by Herring Blake, Ashley
Delilah Green is a photographer who has spent years running from her hometown and the memories of a neglectful family. When she is essentially bribed into returning for her estranged sister's wedding, she expects to get in and out without incident. Instead, she finds herself entangled with Claire, a high-strung local mother who is the complete antithesis of Delilah's messy, guarded life. The story moves with a sharp, witty energy, leaning into the friction of old history meeting new sparks. It is less about the wedding and more about the uncomfortable, beautiful process of letting people see the parts of yourself you have kept hidden. If you appreciate queer romances that prioritize character growth over easy answers and enjoy a protagonist who is unapologetically prickly, this book will feel like a long-overdue conversation with a friend.
