"Listeners will have a devilishly grand time with this rambunctiously robust performance by stellar narrators Quinn Riley and Stephanie Németh-Parker." - AudioFile Magazine (Earphones Award Winner)
From the critically acclaimed author of Something to Talk About comes Meryl Wilsner's 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?

The writing is fun, the story is carefree, and it gave me happy bubbly feelings basically the entire time. Just enough minor dips in the feel-good times to keep the story moving along, with plenty of happy lovey-dovey goodness to keep a stupid grin on my face basically consistently.
There are a few literary Chekhov's Gun moments, the most prominent I can recall is (and minor spoilers) when the rocket ship necklace is pointed out as being taken off and put on the bedside table, I really expected that to become a plot element later, such as someone finding the necklace on the bedside table and asking questions that had difficult answers. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and it was just a peculiar bit of scene setting.
Over all this was a lot of fun. If you want to just have a good time and feel happy lovey-dovey good times with some spicy bits then this is a great pickup. Thankfully they nip the "younger girl with mommy issues" potential plot line quickly and soundly, something I really appreciated. Neither character has weird trauma that leads to the relationship being problematic beyond an age gap and interpersonal relationship quandaries.
A really fun wholesome feel good time.
