Mistakes Were Made Paperback – 11 Oct. 2022

I absolutely adored this book. I think it will 100% be up there as one of my fave sapphic romances 🫶🏽 I loved it right from the very start, it was definitely spicer than I was excepting 🔥 I loved Cassie as her confident attitude, I enjoyed seeing her become softer and open herself up more around Erin. I adored the friendship group Cassie had.I loved seeing them slowly grow closer and that push and pull of trying to stay away. I did kinda guess how the story was going to play out but that didn’t stop me from enjoying it at all. It was such a cute fluffy read fro start to finish, not much angst or drama. The ending absolutely melted my heart 🥹 I could read books on these two. Honestly if you enjoy sapphic novels and you haven’t read this, you should 🫶🏽This is the first book I’ve read by Meryl and it certainly won’t be the last.

An amazing ‘one night to forever age gap sapphic romance’ that brought out a range of emotions as I read through the engrossing story of 21 year old college student Cassie, and 38 year old Erin, a divorced doctor, who, after an initial sexual encounter during Family Weekend at Cassie’s college, thinking they’d never meet again, discovers the very next day that Cassie is in fact the best friend of Parker, Erin’s daughter. Both parties thinking it would have to be a one night stand only proves to be disingenuous as the chemistry between the two women is so incendiary they find they take every opportunity to explore their connection further, despite the risks involved. The main characters are so beautifully drawn, and their connection feels so real you can understand why they can’t say no, we must stop now. As the reader I was continually left with a feeling of jeopardy as the story continued, waiting for the truth and the inevitable fallout to finally emerge. I was unsure at the beginning whether the MCs were likeable enough but my opinion was changed the further into the story I got. The supporting cast of family and friends were essential to the success of this book, the spice levels were appropriate for the story being told, so overall quite spicy. I can highly recommend this as a classic example if you’re a fan of the age gap trope.

If you are looking for a sapphic forbidden romance, then this book is a must. Imagine hooking up with the perfect stranger only to discover the next morning that last night’s hook-up is indeed your daughter’s college best friend. The tension is great throughout as the endeavour to unsuccessfully stay away from one another. There are a few thorough spicy moments, so if that’s not your sort of cup of tea, I would stay away. There are many crucial themes present throughout Erin and Cassie’s story with some great characters: Parker, who has a significant character journey herself, and Acacia, who is such an endearing character.Read if you enjoy:Forbidden RomanceAge GapForced Proximity (at times)Sapphic Romance

I binged 90% of this book in 2 days then was terrified to finish it because I didn't want it to end but I'm so glad I did. it was incredible and words can't describe how much I love this book!! I was smiling the whole way through and felt so attached to all of the characters. I'm looking forward to waiting a few months until I read it again and I've been recommending it to anyone who will listen 😂thank you so much for making and sharing this incredible story

I have never wrote a review for a book before but this has to be one of my favourite books! It grabs you straight away, I struggle to put the book down! Both mc are very likeable and there is so chemistry between them! Would definitely recommend reading!

I struggled with this book and didn’t really root for the characters at all. In the end i had to skin read just to finish it

I couldn’t put this book down I laughed cried and smile the whole way through it, it felt like I was in the story with them definitely one of my top favourite reads!!!

I found myself sucked into this book really quickly. It definitely had the spice everyone had been talking about but it was also thoughtful and moving at times. It didn't take the obvious twists and turns and I found myself fully rooting for them.
