4.5

 Wild Mistake by Kacey Shea completely captured my heart. Sarah’s journey as a single mom returning to her hometown to pick up the pieces of her life was both raw and inspiring. Watching her reconnect with Aiden, her first love, was like seeing a flower bloom in slow motion—equal parts beautiful and heart-wrenching.

The dual timelines, with their current love story interwoven with letters from their past, were masterfully done, adding layers of emotion that left me teary-eyed more than once. Aiden was such a grounding force for Sarah—his unwavering love and patience made their reunion feel so natural and inevitable, like they were always meant to find their way back to each other.

On a deeply personal level, the portrayal of their father suffering from dementia hit close to home for me. The emotional toll it takes on the family was written with care and authenticity, which made the story resonate even more.

This isn’t just a romance—it’s a story about forgiveness, resilience, and the enduring power of love. Kacey Shea created something truly special here, and I’ll be thinking about Sarah and Aiden’s journey for a long time. Highly recommend for anyone who loves second-chance romances with real, relatable characters and heartfelt storytelling.
