Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail by Ashley Herring Blake

Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail by Ashley Herring Blake

Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail. Let me repeat that. ASTRID PARKER DOESN’T FAIL! She is a successful businesswoman who broke out of a terrible engagement, kicks ass at everything she sets her mind to, and is extremely happy! Right? Spoiler Alert, she isn’t extremely happy. She isn’t even a little happy. She runs a decorating business, not because she chose it, but because it was what her mother expected her to do. After running into a cute carpenter (literally), she realizes that every decision in her […]

less engrossing second outing

Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail by Ashley Herring Blake

January 18, 2023 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Much like Britt, I think I found this book serviceable but not memorable. Which is a pity, because I think unlike many other “universe” type books, Blake does a good job in interlacing her prior characters into the background of her next novel–Delilah Green and Claire (and Ruby!) are solid secondary characters in the tale of Astrid, who Delilah continues to call Ass. But now it’s done fondly, one would hope. So, Astrid. She’s a Boss Lady in a Tiny Town, basically the first half […]

“Sexuality is complicated. It’s not static. People change and sexuality can change too.”

Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail (Bright Falls, #2) by Ashley Herring Blake

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. This was a teeny bit of a disappointment for me after having loved Delilah Green Doesn’t Care so much, but it was still good! Just not a favorite. We’re following Delilah’s Type-A sister, Astrid, and another character named Jordan as they fall in lurve. Astrid has been hired as the designer for the renovation of the Everwood Inn, a locally famous inn that is supposedly haunted. They are televising the renovation […]

Astrid Parker’s No Good, Very Bad Case of Comphet

Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail by Ashley Herring Blake

December 11, 2022 by Abi 3 Comments

I have been waiting for Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail for months. Ever since I read Delilah Green Doesn’t Care back in June as the first in my spree of reading every sapphic romance I could get my hands on. I realise this isn’t as long as many people wait for books, I myself used to be someone waiting for Winds of Winter before losing interest some years back, but I’ve been impatient, and I’ve been a good girl and sometimes I get nice things, even […]

a sweet little sapphic romance

Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake

July 21, 2022 by tiny_bookbot Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo: Heart (’cause, romance, obvs) I added this to my library holds list because I kept seeing it recommended seemingly everywhere I turned, so okay! fine! also because with all the serious reading I’ve been doing, I do need some books that lighten up the mood a bit. (Also, this came in when I had 7 hours of driving on deck, so I needed a good car listen.) The summary is pretty straightforward: Delilah Green, struggling art photographer and love-’em-and-leave-’em lesbian, caves to the […]

Hallmark, But Make it Gay

Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake

July 21, 2022 by Abi 5 Comments

Sometimes you start a book and within a few pages know the pretty much all of the emotional beats of where it’s going. And sometimes that doesn’t slightly matter, you’re going to have so much fun along the way that you won’t care. A member of the romantic subgenre I saw coined on TikTok recently “Romance books with two cartoon illustration characters on the cover”, I was in love with Delilah Green from the moment I saw her on the front. What can I say, […]
