DELILAH GREEN DOESN'T CARE

Kristen DiMercurio gives a spirited performance of this funny, sexy, and heartwarming queer rom-com. Photographer Delilah Green fled her hometown of Bright Falls, Oregon, as soon as she could, desperate to escape her distant stepsister, Astrid, and painful memories of her late father. When she begrudgingly returns to photograph her sister’s wedding, she’s not expecting to fall for Astrid’s best friend, Claire—a single mom who runs the local bookstore. DiMercurio smoothly switches between Delilah and Claire’s points of view. She voices Delilah in a low tone that is by turns growly and smooth, and portrays Claire in a brighter, higher register that is tinged at times with exhaustion or humor. She’s equally good at portraying the two women’s families and friends, adding to this audiobook’s homey feel.
