Her interactions with Ruby were my favourite parts. How she softened to Claire’s 12 year old daughter and embraced her role in her life, loving Ruby and being the cool & supportive stepmom to her is a cherry on top! The friendship between all the women, how Delilah warms up to them and their interactions (especially with Delilah and Iris) were golden! I don’t know if I have anything else to say except how much I loved it.

Astrid’s book though stands as my favourite in the whole trilogy! I don’t know, something about Astrid’s story felt the most relatable to me. Also just love Astrid as a character. I’m all about a stone-cold character letting her walls crumble and freeing herself from expectations set upon her since she was a child. She was intriguing from the first time we met her, and if it wasn’t for Delilah’s book setting up her character so well, maybe I wouldn’t love her book as much. And to see how far her and Delilah’s relationship has come in this book to the point she ran to Delilah first about her feelings for Jordan was just *chefs kiss*!

And Jordan Everwood? Oh my god, I love her so so much! She’s such a mess, but she’s a beautiful dorky mess with such an enigmatic presence! She and Astrid have very different personalities in the beginning. The tension and yearning? I ATE THAT UP. She’s so entertaining to read, and her passion and love for her family’s legacy is just so heartwarming. Personally love how she humbles Astrid time and time again and got her to open up about herself. She has such a big heart and I just love her so much!

Now Iris. Although I enjoyed Iris’ book, I didn’t enjoy it as much as the 1st two. I love Iris since the 1st book. Shes hilarious and her presence is so magnetic. And I love the MCs of the 2 books but something about Stevie’s character was just lacking for me but I can’t put my finger on it. She’s sweet, and I related so much to her anxiety but I don’t know, I think I needed more. For some reason this book felt a bit disconnected from the first 2? Maybe I missed the presence of original characters in this one. Even Bright Falls itself. A lot of the setting happened outside-ish of Bright Falls, and the town was such a big part of this universe that I missed it in this book. It felt like a spin off as opposed to a continuation of the 2nd.

The ending was so cute though! The conclusion to the series. I won’t say much other than it was just beautiful!

I’m not much of a pure romance reader. I love my dystopian & romantasy books BUT I’m so glad I gave this series a chance. Delilah Green Doesn’t Care got me so attached to these characters in a way I can’t explain.
