Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner

4.0

This book has almost every trope I dislike in romance. I was pleasantly surprised to see the age gap in this done as great as it was. While I don’t think this story was realistic at times or perfect by any means I don’t care all that much. The chemistry between the main characters was undeniable, as well as the strong friendships in this story. Both Cassie and Erin have clear intentions and well-thought-out personalities. And while yes, their relationship is taboo, it’s easy to feel for them and root for their happiness together as a couple. It’s rare for me to find an age-gap romance that truly feels about nothing but the connection between the characters but this one does. There’s nothing slimy or creepy going on here at all.

A few conflicts felt thrown in just to have conflict, I couldn’t follow why a character was mad or why they were suddenly arguing but it made for some okay drama and I can say these confrontations made more sense once I finished reading the book.

Overall, I think this story knows exactly what it is, a fun lighthearted, and sexy romance that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
