Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake

3.5

 Is it just me or did we spend more time on the side characters than the romance and main characters?  This book was barely romance. And even the romance part wasn't that great. It felt like they got together right when we were finally about to see how they would work together. Delilah had a more developed relationship with Ruby, Claire's daughter, than Claire herself. Delilah and Claire as individual characters were great! But when they're together, it was just... dull. I liked the first part of this book, the scene with Claire hitting on Delilah; and them on the breakfast thingy where Delilah helped Ruby with the dress and she capture that little moment with Ruby and Claire. So I was excited to see how their relationship would progress from there but it... didn't. Claire and Delilah always interacted like something was holding them back (and there was, a lot) so I wished that at least the conflict with Astrid and Delilah was resolved earlier so we got to see Claire and Delilah actually spend time with each other with at least one less thing weighing in on their mind. 

Speaking of conflicts, I hatedddd the conflicts in this book because it took way too much time we could've spent on building Delilah and Claire's relationship. Claire and Josh, Delilah and Astrid (and Isabela), Ruby and Claire, Spencer and Astrid, and many more. As I said, Claire and Delilah as individual people were great but I didn't really see the chemistry between them as a couple. It felt like this book did more telling than showing. 

Overall, good but underwhelming book and I'm so excited for Astrid's book since she was focused a lot in this book that I saw myself liking her more than Claire and Delilah in a few scenes.
