Can this happen to me. Love. Love.

It’s hard to put down once you start reading!

Absolutely love the book, the ending was quick but the build up to everything was crazy!

Seriously loved this book! I couldn’t stop listening to it and loved the ending.

Mistakes Were Made follows two queer women (I believe they are bisexual) who have a forbidden love. Erin is in her late 30’s and hooks up with her daughter’s friend, Cassie, who is 21. Parker, Erin’s daughter, ends up introduces the two and the story spirals from there. What I loved about the book was all the spicy scenes. 🌶️🌶️🌶️There were a lot! I also enjoyed the dual POV’s and feeling like I was inside of both of their worlds. Both characters struggled with issues internally and it made sense why they navigated the relationship in the manner that they did. There were moments where I felt like there was too much over explaining, but it made sense because I really felt like I got to know both characters. I will say that the second half of the book felt like it dragged a bit. I think there were certain issues that could have been resolved quicker and there were certain issues we could have spent a little more time on. I also wasn’t a big fan of the placement of the climaxes/resolutions. In addition, I wasn’t really a fan of Cassie’s best friends. I feel like there was a lot of emphasis put on the friendship that wasn’t really needed. Their friendship issues were centered around Cassie’s and Erin’s relationship. I wish they would have communicated differently in order to resolve their issues. I also wasn’t a fan of Erin and Cassie’s lack of communication. I wish we could have spent more time working through that. I’ll give the book a 3/5.

I loved every bit of this book. I had a hard time putting it down!

See above.

I wish there were more books like this out there. Wilsner, creates strong, empowered, sex positive characters and unlike Something to Talk About, the main characters have an unbelievable amount of sizzling chemistry. It’s easy for supporting characters to either be annoying or fade into the background but that’s not the case here. I could see Parker getting her own story at some point. Wilsner doesn’t hold back on the sexual relationship either and writes scenes that are actually representative of two wlw, which is so refreshing. So many books in this genre have sweet love stories but when it comes to the physical representation of that love story, it so often falls short with unrealistic or impractical sex. Or maybe I’m an outlier. Lol.

unrealistic but love it nonetheless

Mistakes Were Made is probably even better than Something to Talk About, and not just because it’s like 1600x steamier. Wilsner is the gold standand of wlw romcoms. Read this book.
