Summary
From the critically acclaimed author of Something to Talk About comes Meryl Wilsner's Mistakes Were Made， a sharp and sexy rom-com about a college senior who accidentally hooks up with her best friend’s mom。
When Cassie Klein goes to an off-campus bar to escape her school’s Family Weekend， she isn’t looking for a hookup—it just happens。 Buying a drink for a stranger turns into what should be an uncomplicated， amazing one-night stand。 But then the next morning rolls around and her friend drags her along to meet her mom—the hot， older woman Cassie slept with。
Erin Bennett came to Family Weekend to get closer to her daughter， not have a one-night stand with a college senior。 In her defense， she hadn’t known Cassie was a student when they'd met。 To make things worse， Erin’s daughter brings Cassie to breakfast the next morning。 And despite Erin's better judgement—how could sleeping with your daughter’s friend be anything but bad？—she and Cassie get along in the day just as well as they did last night。
What should have been a one-time fling quickly proves impossible to ignore， and soon Cassie and Erin are sneaking around。 Worst of all， they start to realize they have something real。 But is being honest about the love between them worth the cost？

Look， the sex scenes in this book were off the charts steamy。 The book was super sexy and I loved Erin and Cassie's relationship。 But I couldn't suspend my disbelief at the way Parker responded upon finding out about the relationship。 Look， the sex scenes in this book were off the charts steamy。 The book was super sexy and I loved Erin and Cassie's relationship。 But I couldn't suspend my disbelief at the way Parker responded upon finding out about the relationship。 。。。more

Shouldn’t be surprising due to the title & the blurb， but the number of times I was like “this is a terrible idea” reading this 😄It’s hard to agree with the choices our MCs make most of the book， but damn if I didn’t believe these two actually fell in love by the end。 I ended up enjoying it。 Even though I did take mild offense at how often the author described being in your late-30s as being super old。

Overall， a great book。 The ending seemed a bit rushed， and I wish there was more from Parker’s POV。

I came into this book a bit hesistant because it had the potentiel to be great and fun or just awkward in a not fun way at all。 But， thanks to the queer gods， it was a fun read！ Definitively on the spicy spicy side， so if you're into that and looking for some MILF romance， jump ahead。 But more than that， the relationship between Erin and Cassie was rather lovely as it steadily progressed past hookups。 It felt rather natural and not at all cringe。 It could clearly have delt more in depth about th I came into this book a bit hesistant because it had the potentiel to be great and fun or just awkward in a not fun way at all。 But， thanks to the queer gods， it was a fun read！ Definitively on the spicy spicy side， so if you're into that and looking for some MILF romance， jump ahead。 But more than that， the relationship between Erin and Cassie was rather lovely as it steadily progressed past hookups。 It felt rather natural and not at all cringe。 It could clearly have delt more in depth about the relationship and what the age gap meant， but it didn't tried to be more than a fun romcom， and it's alright， I think it worked。 Also， the daughter/bestfriend ？ I found her annoying at first， but by the end， she kinda deserved a round of applause imo。 And the epilogue？ I loved it！ I need more romances to do that and give us more on their happy ever after x）Also， everyone is bi and that's powerful in itself if you ask me。 。。。more

DNF。 I’ve been reading this book for three weeks and only 60% through。 Maybe I’m not in the mood， but I got very bored。 Maybe will come back because I am curious about what ends up happening。

🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶 Damn。 This was a fun read， I must say。 It is well written and quite simple to follow！ We all know I love my dual POVs。 But， I have decided that the age-gap trope may not be for me personally， but that's okay。 We have two strong MCs who find themselves in a situation with a lot of risk， a lot of feelings， and it's incredibly spicy！ 🌶 I'm not sure why， but I was a little surprised by the ending。 I believe it would be evident to most readers。 Nevertheless， it was very cute。 Additionally， ev 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶 Damn。 This was a fun read， I must say。 It is well written and quite simple to follow！ We all know I love my dual POVs。 But， I have decided that the age-gap trope may not be for me personally， but that's okay。 We have two strong MCs who find themselves in a situation with a lot of risk， a lot of feelings， and it's incredibly spicy！ 🌶 I'm not sure why， but I was a little surprised by the ending。 I believe it would be evident to most readers。 Nevertheless， it was very cute。 Additionally， everyone needs a friend like Acacia！Thank you @netgalley & @stmartinspress for my copy in exchange for an honest review！ 。。。more

Cassie is trying to escape being alone on Family Weekend by grabbing a drink at an off-campus bar。 Erin Bennett is attempting something similar。 Neither expected an amazing one-night stand， but， hey， these things happen， right？ No harm， no foul， until Cassie's close friend Parker drags her to meet her mom--in town for Family Weekend--and oh yeah， it's Erin。 Cassie doesn't want to hurt Parker; Erin certainly doesn't want to damage the tentative relationship she is building with her daughter since Cassie is trying to escape being alone on Family Weekend by grabbing a drink at an off-campus bar。 Erin Bennett is attempting something similar。 Neither expected an amazing one-night stand， but， hey， these things happen， right？ No harm， no foul， until Cassie's close friend Parker drags her to meet her mom--in town for Family Weekend--and oh yeah， it's Erin。 Cassie doesn't want to hurt Parker; Erin certainly doesn't want to damage the tentative relationship she is building with her daughter since her divorce。 But neither Cassie nor Erin can deny their chemistry。 This is quite a read--it starts off with a bang and never looks back。 There's no slow-burn here: be prepared for plenty of sexy times when it comes to Cassie and Erin。 Sometimes it almost feels too much; I would have liked to see a little more character development with these two instead of another stolen moment， but there's no denying this is a hot and heavy read！ The premise is definitely a little weird， and it takes some time to adjust。 You cannot help but imagining your own life in this situation--and ICK。 Cassie and Erin are a good couple， though， so that helps。 The sneaking around and poor decision-making makes it more difficult， but I suppose we wouldn't have the book without it， eh？ Erin is grappling with a fairly recent divorce from Parker's father， while Cassie has trouble with commitment。 It's fairly easy to frame their decisions based on their overall personality types。 At first， this book feels a little slow （besides the sex） and a little repetitive （a lot of back and forth from both characters about hurting Parker， without actually doing anything about it）， but it picks up and becomes more fun。 I appreciate that this is lesbian novel with a different， unique premise， interesting characters， and steamy scenes。 It's refreshing and much needed in our canon and for those reasons alone， my 3。75 stars are rounded up to 4。 I received a copy of this book from St。 Martin's Griffin and Netgalley in return for an unbiased review。 。。。more

I loved everything about this - Erin and Cassie were so relatable even though they were at different points in their lives， and I liked how the book navigated the messiness of their relationship with Parker。 Great character growth for both and lots of steam。

This book made me realize that cheesy romance novels are actually fun to read and the reason I didn’t really get into them before was because I never really saw myself in them， with me being strictly wlw。 Representation matters。 I enjoyed the plot quite a bit and the angst was really well done。 It was a great cozy read and now I want more！

⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️。5I’m going to preface this by saying I have double standards and I’m completely okay with it so don’t come for me。I really like sapphic romances， and I loved the premise of this one。 Age gap and sort of taboo？ Yes and thank you。 Unfortunately this gave me some sort of ick。 Mostly because Cassie was sleeping with her best friend‘s mom—and the best friend was constantly just THERE。 Acting like a child。 So that was sort of creepy。 The third person writing didn’t help either imo。 I’m no ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️。5I’m going to preface this by saying I have double standards and I’m completely okay with it so don’t come for me。I really like sapphic romances， and I loved the premise of this one。 Age gap and sort of taboo？ Yes and thank you。 Unfortunately this gave me some sort of ick。 Mostly because Cassie was sleeping with her best friend‘s mom—and the best friend was constantly just THERE。 Acting like a child。 So that was sort of creepy。 The third person writing didn’t help either imo。 I’m not sure if I would’ve liked it better if the older person had been a guy， I just know I didn‘t mind all the ex boyfriend‘s dad stories I read。Erin was bland。 I don’t even think she really liked Cassie。 And Cassie was kind of。 I don’t know。 She was cocky and stuff but also she was just there too。 The universal bisexuality also kind of bothered me？ Obviously queer books don’t owe anyone the discussion of labels and shit， but I’m also not a fan of basically making everyone bisexual just for the sake of it。 That feels。 Eh。 Anyway， a lot of the situations gave me weird vibes， Erin came across very motherly towards Cassie on occasion and that didn’t work for me。 The smut was good but there’s only so much great smut can do for a romance book。 I don’t think this was particularly bad， I just think it wasn’t really for me。 。。。more
