This is one of those rare situations where I can honestly say, "it's not you, it's me." I'm a big proponent of going into books with a very open mind and one way I do that is to avoid looking too much into it beforehand. Perhaps I should have read this particular synopsis more closely. I knew this was going to be a best friend's mom/age-gap romance, which didn't bother me (then again, not much does). I was a little apprehensive when I learned that Cassie was a college senior who hooks up with Erin, her friend's 38-year-old mother, but I hoped maybe they would part ways after they discovered each other's identities and reconnect a few years later. I also stupidly assumed both characters would be more mature.She didn’t say more, too busy ogling the woman. She hadn’t gotten her fill from across the bar, apparently. It was even better up close, the woman’s pale skin somehow glowing even in the low light. Her eyes were strikingly blue—thin eyeliner making them stand out even more. I also found Parker, who is the daughter/best friend, was weirdly underutilized in the story. For the fact that she’s the main foil to Cassie & Erin’s relationship, she just wasn’t super prominent which made the plot just *that* much more un-impactful. Although I feel mischievously generous in giving this book a full four stars, my general enjoyment is helping me justify it. That is to say, there were some elements that I thought were badly done: some bad nose-scrunching writing, weirdness with the bff's mother thing, and the characters weren't amazingly done. But I had a pretty great time anyway. You'll fall in love while rooting for this sexy, forbidden, and adorable love story ' Denise Williams This book was…Honestly, words are still eluding me - I think I need a minute to recover from Erin, the sexy MILF who is also a doctor 😳( !!!!!!!!!!). I mean, this is what sapphic dreams are made of! (And I guess there’s also Cassie, the hot, blonde, motorcycle-riding engineer/mechanic…if you’re into that sort of thing 🔥)

i was literally yelling out loud, "i hate this" "pls stop talking" "absolutely do not do that" on my walks, to and from work, AT work sometimes, my neighbors must rlly be curious, but i also tend to react to MOST audiobooks i read, so it wasn't new, per say, but it was... A LOT!) Even if she were using Cassie for sex, who cared? Getting used for sex by a MILF was basically a porno fantasy.” Little did Cassie know that harmless gesture was going to lead to the most enticing one night stand of her life. Wipes multiple tears. Sniffles.* Okay sorry, but that was so stinking cute. I was pouting with my hand to my chest like an old lady, I'm telling you.I absolutely loved the characters in this book. Cassie and Erin!! My favorite doctor and engineer!! They are the cutest. They had AMAZING chemistry between them, which was instantaneous!! The sexual tension, the steamy talk, and the banter were incredible!! I really loved their unexpected relationship, which they hid from Erin’s daughter, Parker. Their secret relationship had me on my toes the entire time! It was so entertaining and I was waiting to see what happened next; I also LOVED how they made time for each other. Their character development throughout the book was something I adored! In Mistakes Were Made, Wilsner somehow deftly depicts both the messy, exuberant confusion of college life and the messy, bewildering confusion of middle age. Cassie and Erin's journey is taboo and sexy, but ultimately, it is deeply sweet: a story of how love can, and should, transcend societal expectations." - Anita Kelly, author of Love & Other Disasters The characters were still fantastic, there were some serious issues being explored, but the forbidden romance trope brought the fun. There were moments that I was a little uncomfortable for Parker, but at the end of the day, they are all adults and I liked how Wilsner wrapped it up. When college senior, Cassie, spends her Friday evening at an off-campus bar, she isn’t looking for a hook-up – it just happens. Buying a drink for a stranger turns into what should be an uncomplicated, amazing one-night stand. But then the next morning rolls around and her friend drags her along to meet her mum . . . who turns out to be the hot, older woman Cassie just slept with.
