Such a fun read! An age gap romance with unfortunate but hilarious circumstances. Would read over and over again.

I felt that this book was about one hundred pages too long, it definitely dragged at many points.

Read This Book If…you love characters sneaking around! 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5 

Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner 

 

Genre: queer romance 

Spice Level: 5/5🌶, 5+ explicit scenes 

Setting: college in Virginia and outside Boston 

POV: dual, 3rd person, past tense 

Tropes: age gap (18 years), best friend’s mom, one night stand, taboo relationship,secret relationship, hurt/comfort, phone sex, “good girl” 

 

My Thoughts: For all the sneaking around that happened in this book, I found everything to be wayyyyyy too easy. The only real conflict was them being scared of the possibility of people maybe finding out. That being said, this was a fun read! The spicy was plentiful and well done and I liked both of the main characters! I just wish there had been a little more substance or conflict for them to work through. 

 

Memorable Quote: “Cassie was a bad decision Erin wanted to make again and again.”
