Mistakes Were Made
by Meryl Wilsner
Thank you so much to Meryl Wilsner, St Martin's Press, MacMillan Audio and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book!
""You tired?" Parker asked. No just thinking about fucking your mom."
This was an absolutely FABULOUS book! I had been reading a string of holiday books or books with heavy topics and this is exactly what I needed.
What do you do when your accidentally hook up with your best friend's mom?!
That is exactly what happened to Cassie Klein. She meets an older woman, Erin Bennett, at a bar that she is instantly attracted to and things get hot and heavy in the backseat of the car. Both thinking that this is just a quick fling and not to be repeated, they go their separate way. Until the following morning one of her best friends in college asks her to join her for breakfast with her mom and low and behold it is the woman from the night before.
"I want to go scuba diving with you."
This year I definitely read more sapphic books than I have in any prior years and I have to say this one takes the cake. I have never read a book with this topic and I think that is why I was so intrigued and kept me wanting more. The complexity of the relationship not only between Cassie and Erin but also Erin and Parker, Cassie and Parker, and then Cassier and Acacia.
I was not sure how I was going to like having an old woman with a younger woman and then lets throw in her being friends with her love interests daughter?! It has disaster written all over it. But for some reason it worked. The sneaking around, the texting, the sexting! I really wish we could have had a chapter on just Parker's POV to see her freak out instead of hearing about it after the fact (maybe a bonus chapter?!).
THE SPICE IN THIS!!!! The affection and passion Cassie and Erin have for one another was *chef's kiss*. You could tell just how happy both of them were in their interaction and then in how they treated each other in their intimate moments. I knew as soon as Parker invited Cassie to her house over winter break that it was game over.
I paired this also with the audio and the dual narration was so great! Both female voices were perfect for each character. Cassie's had a younger more youthful tone while Erin's was older more serious tone. Both did a great job with the different inflexions when needed. I had even read at a faster speed and it was not lost in it.
I did not read Meryl's prior book so I wasn't sure how their writing style would be but if it is similar to this, then I am all in. I love the way the story flowed and the dual POV is also a bonus.
I absolutely will be recommending this book to all my friends and hope they get all flushed like I did while reading.
