I loved this book! I like how it went into Delilah and Astrid's childhoods and how their perspectives about how things played out might have been a bit more skewed than they originally thought. Of course, I thought the relationship between Claire and Delilah was cute and I liked the way it tackled Claire's relationship with her daughter and ex.
This was a fun and charming romance, with excellently written sex scenes and snappy dialogue. The secondary plot of Deliah's stepsister getting married occasionally felt rushed/shoe-horned in, which was my only complaint. (No spoilers, but there were moments when I thought the stakes were confusing - there was a lot of setup for a particular plotline that never went anywhere.) Overall, though, it was a quick but fun read. I'm always happy to have some mainstream wlw fiction to recommend to patrons, and this will be my go to for awhile.
I don't think there's anything Ashley Herring Blake can't write. I have been a fan of her middle grade books and now she's written a perfect adult romance. When I first saw the cover of this book I had astronomically high hopes for it and somehow the book surpassed every one of them!
This book is so funny and sweet and incredibly sexy. I loved Delilah's and Claire's romance with its loaded history and small town complications. Having Delilah discover that what she thought of her history with her step sister and her best friends might not have been the full story was such a wonderful counterpoint to her discovering that maybe she could do this love thing after all.
Ashley Herring Blake can write anything she wants and it will be on my auto-buy list. I can't wait for more romance from her in the future, she's a truly gifted storyteller.
