This was super cute! I loved the developing enemies to friends thrown in too, it was a great comfort read. Delilah and Claire are both great, but I think Claire’s character was more interesting than Delilah even, but thats just my personal opinion! Overall a super cozy romance with a good toxic/misunderstanding family plot thrown in.

This is one of the longest books I've ever read. Jesus Christ it just went on and on.

Loved the characters and their development throughout the story, the humour was right up my alley and the book was all round heartwarming and relatable.
The ending was a tad rushed in certain plot points but still worked well with the book as a whole.
Would comfort read again

Thank you Berkley Publishing Group and Net Galley for an early ereader of this book!
This might be my favorite book of 2022 and it is only January. I absolutely loved this book. From the dynamic of the three best friends, the family drama to the chemistry between our two girls, everything was perfection.
First, you have Delilah which spoiler alert does in fact, care. She may be hard on the outside, but she is warm and mushy on the inside. I love seeing the representation of someone with crazy curly hair that has a mind of its own. I know it is silly, but that small bit of representation really tugged on my heart strings. ANYWAY, Delilah is super artsy, has tattoos, doesn't wear a bra and has been burnt a few times (by significant others and by family). Delilah is a lesbian-rep.
Next, we have Claire who has a pre-teen daughter. YES, more representation on something you don't see in a lot of romance books in my opinion! She us curvy, retro, runs a bookstore, will die for her friends and is trying her hardest to co-parent with her daughter's dad who she has deemed not responsible. She has not only her curves but she has stretch marks and they are seen as gorgeous. Claire is a bisexual-rep.
The steam in this is a 10/10, If you don't like detailed-sex scenes, then this book might not be for you. I enjoyed it though, LOL. The characters have layers, the side-characters are set up for their own books (looking at you Astrid and Iris), and the trauma these characters are dealing with are real. I really enjoyed this one, and highly recommend it!

Two things I have in common with Claire Sutherland:
1. My name is Clare
2. I am also deeply in love with Delilah Green

"Delilah needs therapy" would be a better title. The amount of times I eye-rolled her comments or posture got lost during the 13 hours listening the audiobook. And don't get me wrong, the narrator did a great job, but the Delilah's character is just too shallow, too immature. I can't even say it was an haters-to-lovers, because I still do not love her.
