Bookseller recommendation
“I think I loved this book even more than Delilah Green Doesn’t Care. There is something so comforting about returning to a group of characters for a second book. I can’t wait to read Iris’ story next!”
— Aedan Richter • Nowhere Bookshop
Bookseller recommendation
“A lovely addition to the quaint Bright Falls universe (Book #2). From the first book (Delilah Green Doesn't Care), I didn't think I would vibe with Astrid, as she was controlling with lots of misplaced anger. In this book, however, Astrid is revealed to be much more complex, compassionate, and interesting. Fans of dual POVs, unraveling perfectionists, enemies-to-lovers, tarot cards, HGTV-type inn renovations, meaningful female friendships, and a spicy Queer women romance where the two leads have great chemistry will love this book! ”

“Oh gosh, I loved Astrid's redemption from Delilah Green Doesn't Care. The enemies-to-lovers trope, Astrid's realization of her bisexuality, and the way both she and Jordan deal with their fear and the reality of failure, all hit so hard and good. But Ashley Herring Blake's fun, bouncy writing, somehow keeps everything light. A perfect curl-up cozy read that will warm your heart and have you drumming your fingers, eager for the next installment, Iris's story!”

“Astrid was my favorite from Delilah Green Doesn't Care, so it was a delight to get her story! This one's for anyone who has ever looked around and wondered how they ended up here, in this entirely unsuitable life. Astrid blew up her life, but not quite enough...until she meets Jordan. Sexy & fun. Queer girl romance at its best!”
— Robin • Books & Books @ The Studios of Key West
An interior designer who is never without the perfect plan learns to renovate her love life without one in this new romantic comedy by Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care.
For Astrid Parker, failure is unacceptable. Ever since she broke up with her fiancé a year ago, she’s been focused on her career—her friends might say she’s obsessed, but she knows she’s just driven. When Pru Everwood asks her to be the designer for the Everwood Inn’s renovation, which will be featured on a popular HGTV show, Innside America, Astrid is thrilled. Not only will the project distract her from her failed engagement and help her struggling business, but her perpetually displeased mother might finally give her a nod of approval.
However, Astrid never planned on Jordan Everwood, Pru’s granddaughter and the lead carpenter for the renovation, who despises every modern design decision Astrid makes. Jordan is determined to preserve the history of her family’s inn, particularly as the rest of her life is in shambles. When that determination turns into some light sabotage to ruffle Astrid’s perfect little feathers, the showrunners ask them to play up the tension. But somewhere along the way, their dislike for each other evolves into something quite different, and Astrid must decide what success truly means. Is she going to pursue the life that she’s expected to lead or the one that she wants?
