I have seen it attributed to both Nixon and Reagan, but I can't figure out the real history of this. Things can only get worse when they meet again — the next morning, at breakfast with Erin’s daughter. She's gone through a lot after her divorce from Parker's dad, and it did kind of punch me in the gut to see how hard she was trying to get her daughter to love her back again, while also being new to feeling loved herself.

with lying to parker and sleeping with her friend, and how it was going to stop, and in the next second she's making out with cassie with parker right there in the other room. While both Cassie and Erin make some questionable choices, the biggest thing you have to give them credit for is going after exactly what they want, no matter what people are going to think of them.

Moving swiftly on, I did overall greatly enjoy this one, and I was absolutely delighted to find that my local library is carrying more lgbtq+ books. Overall, “Mistakes Were Made” is a heartwarming, passionate romantic comedy exploring a relationship that seems destined to fail from the beginning.

As the months go by, neither woman can get the other out of their heads and when Parker invites Cassie to spend part of Christmas break with her, Erin and Cassie have a hard time keeping things platonic.honestly, i just think 20+ years is too different in MOST cases (obvs there are exceptions to this). This book has a lotttttt of spice (I'm estimating like 6-8 scenes in my head, I'm too lazy to go back and count though lol) which was awesome because I feel there are so few sapphic books that have so much,, porn lol but it was also kinda feeling like too much! I feel a lot of your enjoyment will depend on how much you like the secondary relationships the MCs have with others and how well you bond with the MCs, because even though the last line of the blurb is “ …they start to realize they have something real. parker was a saint, a wonderful character, deserves all the good things, was forefront on my mind pretty much the entire book, and i want her happiness and love story bc the girl was PUT THROUGH IT and did not get to rage the way she should have, and came around so maturely and wonderfully and i adore her.

Erin's daughter, Parker, was portrayed as incredibly immature and juvenile, which was perhaps done in an attempt to highlight the fact that Cassie is more grown up. On the one hand, she proclaims fixing their relationship is the most important thing in the world to her, while on the other, she’s fist-pumping “fuck should” to validate her choice to continuing sexing up Cassie—a choice that is tacitly endorsed as all of the emotional fallout and work involved for Parker to get over them lying to her for nine months is done off-page to give them a quick, no mess HEA. I really enjoyed Meryl Wilsner's debut, Something to Talk About, and when I read about their new contemporary romance, Mistakes Were Made, I got really excited. whilst they never handle their situation with grace, watching them deny their feelings for each other as their different personalities and lives perfectly blend, allowing them to become one, is hilarious.After so thoroughly enjoying Mistakes Were Made, I am eagerly awaiting Cleat Cute, Wilsner’s next sapphic romance, and will be looking out for their future work!

I didn't like the parallels where Parker was sick and Erin would take care of her, and then Cassie got sick and Erin would take care of her but it was supposedly a really romantic moment that time.Once, when caught in a particularly outrageous lie, he invented the phrase "Yesterdays statement is inoperative.
