Mistakes Were Made
by Meryl Wilsner
While I’d read and enjoyed this author’s other romance, I honestly was not sure what to expect from this one, and whether I’d end up liking it at all. It’s got tropes I’m not necessarily into, so I was worried that I might not end up liking the book because of their execution. I think I still would’ve enjoyed the book more had there not been certain aspects that came about due to those tropes, but I actually ended up having a super fun time with this book overall, and genuinely enjoyed it!
My biggest issue was just how tense I felt throughout the book, and this became especially true near the end. So much of my head was tied up in how this was all going to blow-up that I started being less able to enjoy what actually was happening on page. I just couldn’t stop worrying about the future!
What’s actually really funny though, is that what I feared never even came. I actually love how this book tackled the issues that were unique to this trope. It dealt with the consequences in a way that didn’t dominate the book in the end, but also didn’t minimize them either. It was so unique in how it did this too, and I still just really appreciate it all. I was also just so immensely relieved, too!
I also thought the romance was fun here too. It’s definitely not the most compelling on an emotional level for me, but there definitely was chemistry, and I enjoyed the book enough based on that alone honestly! It did make me slightly less invested in the endgame of the relationship, but in the end that didn’t really matter too much either. It was just fun and quick and enjoyable, and everything I wanted out of it actually!
Overall, I really enjoyed this romance, and I’ll cerntainly be keeping my eyes out for more in the future!
