Can’t Wait Wednesday – DELILAH GREEN DOESN’T CARE by Ashley Herring Blake
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in since I first started blogging, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is DELILAH GREEN DOESN’T CARE by Ashley Herring Blake. This is another book that is pretty far out in terms of publication date, but I’m such a huge fan of this author’s YA contemporary novels. She creates some of the most wonderful and unforgettable characters and her stories are always so moving. I’m very excited to see how she does with a rom-com. 🙂
DELILAH GREEN DOESN’T CARE by Ashley Herring Blake
Publication Date: February 22, 2022 by Berkley
From Goodreads:
A clever and steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love—with all its complications—by debut author Ashley Herring Blake.
Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it’s a different woman every night, but that’s just fine with her.
When Delilah’s estranged stepsister, Astrid, pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a five-figure check, Delilah finds herself back in the godforsaken town that she used to call home. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid’s stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there’s some fun (and a little retribution) to be had in Bright Falls, after all.
Having raised her eleven-year-old daughter mostly on her own while dealing with her unreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire Sutherland depends upon a life without surprises. And Delilah Green is an unwelcome surprise…at first. Though they’ve known each other for years, they don’t really know each other—so Claire is unsettled when Delilah figures out exactly what buttons to push. When they’re forced together during a gauntlet of wedding preparations—including a plot to save Astrid from her horrible fiancé—Claire isn’t sure she has the strength to resist Delilah’s charms. Even worse, she’s starting to think she doesn’t want to…

I’d love to hear what upcoming book releases you’re waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me your link in the comments below and I’ll stop by and check out your CWW selection for this week. 🙂
Oh hello, I am loving the promising potential and chemistry between Claire and Delilah! I already want them to get their happy ending!
Same here! 🙂
I’m not familiar with this author but this sounds so cute and fun!
I’ve had really good luck with her YA books so I’m excited to read her first adult book.
Aside from being targets for adults, this book sounds so different from anything Blake has written. I am definitely curious.
It really does. Her books usually make me cry but this one sounds like fun. 🙂
I’ve read and loved one of her MG novels, and need to read more by her, so I’ll definitely be curious to see how she does with an adult rom-com! Thanks for putting it on my radar.
You’re welcome! 🙂
This sounds fun. Love that there’s a bookstore involved as well. 🙂
Me too. Bookstores are always a big plus for me. 🙂
This one does sound good. Great pick!
Thanks!
it sounds like a fun modern romance, I can see why you picked it 🙂
Hope you are having a nice weekend 🙂 Quiet one here, with lockdown!
So sorry to hear about the lockdown. COVID cases are climbing here too so I feel like we’re heading in that direction too unfortunately.
That sounds suche a cute and fun one!
I think so too. 🙂
