Mistakes Were Made
by Meryl Wilsner
This was my first book by Meryl Wilsner. This sapphic romance was steamy and binge-worthy! It’s so easy to get through this one very quickly. I loved the chemistry between Cassie and Erin. There are a few great friendships here too.
I love college relationships and how carefree they all are. One of the things that I didn’t love was the relationship between Cassie and Parker. I’m sorry but Cassie was a terrible friend to Parker. I get that things are going on in the background but she could have done better. Honestly, Parker was a much better friend to Cassie, considering the circumstances.
Cassie and Erin was such a fun romance to read about. They brought out the better in each other. Cassie could be a tiny bit destructive but I get it from her age. It was sometimes hard to completely fall in love with Cassie as the main character. I think she had a lot of trauma from her past and I wish we would have delved into that a lot more.
Erin was such an amazing character and mom. I love how Parker was her sole reason for living and it made me sad about the miscommunication. I think that can happen a lot with parents and their children.
This book is insanely steamy and many moments throughout the book. I think there are times that it overshadows the actual relationship a bit. I wanted a little more depth there.
Overall, I did enjoy this one and I would love to read more by Wilsner. I just had some pacing issues and some character development issues that I didn’t love. Wilsner is not afraid to go there in the steam aspect if that means anything to you.
Many thanks to St. Martin's Griffin and Netgalley for an e-arc to review!!
