Reviews with content warning for Addiction - Mistakes Were Made

So I have to admit, I love an age gap trope (so long as we are still talking of consenting adults of course!). And this book put that trope into a fun, steamy, and sapphic story that was a great read. I laughed and I longed for them. Cassie and Erin just had this irresistible chemistry that was almost tangible. The age gap is quite big, but it made sense why they would still be attracted to each other on multiple levels.

I guess the only thing I wished I as a reader had more insight into was Parker, Erin's daughter and Cassie's best friend who finds out quite early on that they're dating, but it doesn't get talked about until after everything is already resolved and Parker is already ok with it. I wish the conflict with her had happened on page and would have created just a bit more of a stir in the story.

While i love seeing my sapphics happy and in love, I also think it could have used a bit more of that conflict we only get at the end.

This book made me a little uncomfortable just because even as someone who will be 25 in a couple weeks, I wouldn't feel comfortable dating someone 21. It's just so young, and also I feel like

Erin abused her power at some points and was really mean to Cassie for absolutely no reason and even though Erin was the one who had power in situations

also I feel like there were too many spicy scenes.
