Pleasing parents syndrome is a struggle we often see in many books, but Astrid’s struggle in this one felt a bit more unique than others I’ve read. I think that’s mostly due to the fact that it’s not easy to pull off a female romantic relationship. An open door led into a living area, which Delilah now distinctly remembered as the scene where-Lana?

Lydia-sure, why not-grinned, pulling down the linens to her hips for a split second before tucking the sheet back up to her chin. She is the author of the young adult novels Suffer Love, How to Make a Wish, and Girl Made of Stars (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), the middle grade novels Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World, The Mighty Heart of Sunny St.It wasn't necessarily the deepest, most nuanced and realistic romance, but that's not what I require from a cute contemporary romance. As much as I enjoyed the romance in this book, I think I actually found the development of Astrid and Delilah's relationship more compelling. Another issue I had was that this book, where the titular character is pretty clearly a lesbian, only uses the word 'lesbian' one time, and in a joking context at that. I don’t know if it’s because I listened to it on audio, but the sex scenes were pretty awkward and I just wasn’t feeling it at times.

All of that said, I thought Delilah and Claire had a lot of chemistry, and I actually loved Astrid's character from the start, so I'm very eager to read the next book and see her get the love she deserves. When Delilah’s estranged stepsister pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a large check, Delilah finds herself back in Bright Falls once more. Iris thinks Delilah is weird and has since childhood, when in fact Iris is a bully and it's weird we are supposed to like her, when she tortured Delilah as an adolescent and still talks to her in the exact same way and generally does not appear to have changed very much. I also felt the baby daddy (already forgot his name) got way too much of a pass considering he constantly skipped town and abandoned his child.Fans of Alexandria Bellefleur and Talia Hibbert won't want to miss out on this emotional extravaganza.
