![]() ![]() ![]() A steamy backseat romp ensues, and the two women part ways–no numbers exchanged and no plans to meet up again. But when a bold younger woman sends a drink across the bar, she has trouble turning down the opportunity to enjoy her relatively new singlehood. ![]() ![]() A recent divorcee splitting Family Weekend visiting hours with her ex-husband, she is simply killing time in a college town. Erin Bennett is not there to cruise for hookups either. Cassie goes to an off-campus bar to escape the festivities, not to cruise for hookups, but when a statuesque older woman catches her eye from across the room, she can’t resist sending a drink her way. It’s Family Weekend at Keckley College, but not for senior Cassie Klein, who is effectively estranged from hers. But Wilsner proved me wrong–this book is funny, nuanced, deeply empathetic, and piping hot. Mistakes Were Made, Meryl Wilsner’s second f/f romance following 2020’s acclaimed Something to Talk About, is billed as “a sexy rom-com about a college senior who accidentally hooks up with her best friend’s mom.” While I anxiously awaited this book as much as the next reader of queer romances, I admittedly postponed picking it up, afraid that a relationship between a college student and a woman one generation her senior would be too problematic, or too cringe, for me to root for. ![]()
