About the book

"This blazing-hot forbidden romance manages to sensibly, and compassionately, capture the complexities of starting adult life after college and finding love and your identity in middle age. Cassie and Erin's romance is by turns delightfully raunchy and deeply emotional. This reader hopes Wilsner keeps these scorchers coming." - The Washington Post

"[Wilsner writes] erotic yearning in a class all their own." - Entertainment Weekly

From Meryl Wilsner, the acclaimed author of Something to Talk About, comes Mistakes Were Made, a sharp and sexy rom-com about a college senior who accidentally hooks up with her best friend's mom.

When Cassie Klein goes to an off-campus bar to escape her school's Family Weekend, she isn't looking for a hookup-it just happens. Buying a drink for a stranger turns into what should be an uncomplicated, amazing one-night stand. But then the next morning rolls around and her friend drags her along to meet her mom-the hot, older woman Cassie slept with.

Erin Bennett came to Family Weekend to get closer to her daughter, not have a one-night stand with a college senior. In her defense, she hadn't known Cassie was a student when they'd met. To make things worse, Erin's daughter brings Cassie to breakfast the next morning. And despite Erin's better judgement-how could sleeping with your daughter's friend be anything but bad?-she and Cassie get along in the day just as well as they did last night.

What should have been a one-time fling quickly proves impossible to ignore, and soon Cassie and Erin are sneaking around. Worst of all, they start to realize they have something real. But is being honest about the love between them worth the cost?

"Wilsner proves their serious romance range with a sophomore novel that laughs in the slow-burning face of their debut by kicking off with a hookup that'll have you fanning your face for days." - Buzzfeed

"A steaming hot, thoughtful story about all kinds of love, featuring a firecracker of a couple that's impossible not to root for." - Women's Health

    "Curiosity killed the cat, and enough p*ssy had been wrecked tonight"

    Bisher hat mir jedes Buch dieser Autorin super gefallen. Auch hier wieder eine süße Story mit super Charakteren, etwas spice und nur ein Hauch von Drama, genauso wie ich es mag 🤣 Das Taboo Thema und die Age Gap fand ich ganz abwechslungsreich, weil es für mich das erste Buch war, das ich in diese das Richtung gelesen habe. Gerne mehr in Zukunft von dieser Autorin 😊

    Really loved this! One of my first reads after a long reading slump and it was a great decision, it is super fast paced, NO slow burn which I normally want in my romances but the tension was still so great and I ooved the chemistry. I was scared to have an annoying 3-act breakup (that would have made my read less enjoyable) but to my surprise I was pleased with how the suthor dealt with it. Dont expect a life changing read, it is fun and queer and damn good at it. P.s: read this in the train next to a dude who was absorbed in his read of Dostoevsky while my characters were fingering each other

    The good news: she likes someone.... The bad news: it's her best friend's mum

    Wunderschönes Buch in dem Liebe wirklich keine Grenzen kennt. Die Lovestory ist einfach authentisch und nicht total unrealistisch. Ein schönes und unterhaltsames Buch für die herbstliche Jahreszeit und auch einfach nur für zwischendrinnen.☺️
