Publisher: World Literary Press

Rating: ☆☆☆
Synopsis:
After the death of her parents on the day of her college graduation, Delilah Armstrong thought she could finally follow her heart and come out to her closest friends, but the guilt of going against her parents’ beliefs haunts her. The feelings she has for her best friend, Ashley, are stronger than anything she’s felt before, but Delilah has never even kissed a girl, and fear stops her at every turn.
Ashley Carver promised herself that she would never again date another girl who wasn’t out, but that was before she met intoxicatingly sweet and sexy Delilah.
When another girl offers to teach Delilah the ropes, it changes Delilah’s whole world and gives her the courage to go after the only girl she really wants. But coming out isn’t as easy as Delilah imagined, and moving past her parents’ death and the feelings of guilt she is left with is even harder. The intense passion between Ashley and Delilah is too strong to deny, but coming together means risking everything.
Discovering Delilah is an edgy, evocative, romantic story of friendship, family, and the courage to love

My Review
It is weird how the author made this work. You can easily say that there wasn't any real reason with Delilah should have been afraid to come out. With her parents being dead, she didn't have any real immediate consequences. This is more about coming to issue with the person you are. Even when people are gone they can still have an influence on you. I mean after all isn't that what parenting is? Teaching your kids and hoping that it sticks when they are grown. Unfortunately, it works with negative teachings as well. I liked the characters as a whole. I didn't like how we kept being reminded that her parents didn't approve.
Overall an okay book. I like that it is book two but stands as its own. That's right. You don't have to read book one. Or read them in order. Should you read it? Sure. It wouldn't be on my list of run out right now and get it. But I would recommend it to a friend.
