💥 February’s Pick - Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake

We’re kicking off the year with a sapphic rom-com that’s sharp, sexy, heartfelt, and packed with delicious small-town chaos.

Delilah Green swore she’d never go back to Bright Falls, the town she grew up in, the town she ran from, the town that never truly felt like home. But when she’s guilt-tripped into photographing her stepsister’s wedding, Delilah returns… camera in hand, attitude fully intact, and absolutely not prepared for Claire Sutherland.

Claire has her hands full: co-parenting, running a bookstore, and keeping her best friends from spiraling. The last thing she needs is Delilah - broody, tattooed, infuriatingly attractive Delilah - waltzing back into town and stirring up feelings she definitely did not plan on having.

Expect:
✨ slow-burn chemistry
✨ delicious queer tension
✨ found family + messy families
✨ healing, desire, and second chances

If you love romances with heart, humor, heat, and big queer energy, this one delivers. Join us as we laugh and unpack every charged glance and emotional wall crack along the way.
