Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner
4.25
hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

I really enjoyed this! I loved Meryl Wilsner's first book, and it was fun to read this one that brought the SPICE. I didn't realize how much I'd be into a MILF book until I read it but here I am and yes! I wish there had been more of the friendship/family relationship with Acacia and her family. I think a lot of people's cringe over the mommy issue feels would be resolved if we'd spent a little more time seeing how close Cassie was with them. The characters spent so much time avoiding their feelings that the conflict which really resolved that issue for me happened pretty late in the book. In general I would have loved to see more of the side characters and the MCs talking it out/interacting with other people rather than spending so much time in their own heads. All that said, I really enjoyed the book, the sex scenes were top notch, and I loved the ending.
