I’ve been a big fan of Melissa Foster’s books for some time now. I cannot recall what the first one I read was but I am absolutely enamored with Discovering Delilah.

There are many reasons I like Discovering Delilah. Let’s start with the main reason. I have a lesbian daughter. I am not sure when she discovered she was a lesbian but she is now married to her best friend – as we all should be. While I have never discouraged her from finding out who she is, I know that a book like this might help both parents and teens as they explore their sexuality.

The book’s chapters are set up from varying view points. This seems to have become a thing. More and more authors are utilizing this method of writing. I’m ambivalent about that but do love know whose point of view the thoughts on the page belong to so appreciate the “~name~.”

The book is the second in the Harborside Nights series. I did not read the first book but have read others by Foster. I do not think that it is necessary to read an entire series but sometimes do. I like when I get drawn into characters and settings and they repeat over and over in multiple novels.

Delilah is a complex young adult and makes for a compelling character. She blames herself, somewhat, for her parents’ deaths in a car accident. She knows she is a lesbian but has not come out yet. She is trying to wrap her head around her life in Harborside as she has not been there long.

Her counterpart in this book, Ashley, has been out for years and is supported by her family in all her endeavors. She was hurt by a lover who was not out before and swears she will never date a woman who is not out again. Delilah changes her thinking on that.

On top of a story about rites of passage, this love story is beautifully written. The characters come alive as you read. I can envision having coffee with any of them during the day. I definitely recommend this new book Discovering Delilah by Melissa Foster.
