I wanted to read a bad book on vacay so can't complain too much

Plot line was less cringey than the fake dating trope in Iris Kelly but the 'girl who doesn't do commitment' trope is still ehh for me. I also just didn't enjoy this one as much 

Delilah's avoidance was relatable and I liked to see how her relationship with her step-sister grew by the end

"A different wish. One where family meant more than awkward encounters and avoided text messages. One where friends meant more than an acquaintance or a colleague or a one-night stand. One where home meant more than a fifth-floor walk-up and IKEA furniture."

"She'd spent years perfecting the art of avoidance, of protection, of never letting Astrid see how much Delilah was hurting. If eyes were the window into the soul, Delilah's had long been shuttered."

Need I say about these two? This is absolutely what you call polar opposites with each other. Plus, it was nice to see queer mom rep. Makes me realize I should- uh- I should have read this one and the second book in the Bright Falls Series before reading Iris Kelly Doesn't Date. Iris will still forever be my favorite in this series. 
This book was definitely a book for the works. I want what Delilah has-
