Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
As someone who isn't as old as Erin, there's no way she didn't know how young Cassie was, especially with Parker being two years younger. I'm not even old enough to have a kid in college and yet college kids look like babies to me, I don't care how dimly lit a bar is. So for her to act scandalized and like she didn't know, is bad enough. But then she continues to manipulate Cassie, casting her aside and using her when it's convenient to her.
Also, as a general rule: if you feel the need to hide your relationship from the people you love and trust because you know they'll admonish you or it will hurt them, you shouldn't be in the relationship. Period. This is something both Cassie and Erin did. And it's a huge red flag.
Finally, it's clear that Cassie is using this sexual relationship as a way of coping with her own lack of parental affection and in the process she's using Parker's mom who Parker has struggled to have a good relationship with. She's self sabotaging in multiple ways when she really should just be in therapy.
