About this listen
"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?

Good book.
Would have been better if they didn’t have that recording snafu in chapter 11 (or is it 10) in the middle of shower sex.

This book is amazing!
This was my first sapphic novel experience, and what a way to enter the genre. Yes, the story is a bit unbelievable in the way some things work out, but I was fully willing to suspend all real world beliefs to buy into this story. A must read!

Great story and lovely performance
The story is great and the performance of these narrators do a great job of immersive you in the book, more so that narrations I’ve seen with just one narrator. Highly recommend

great story and performance, except...
In chapter 11 at 28:40, there is a terrible screech noise mid sex scene that screech the hell out of me. Great story, though

Wow.
Simply, wow. What an incredible book - amazing story, amazing performances. I was hooked instantly and literally could not put it down, and when I had to put it down, the story lived in my head (and heart), anxious to get back to the story to see what happens next. Such a rich book. I can’t say enough good about it. This book was the first book I read by Meryl Wilsner, and if her previous works are anything like MWM, than I can’t wait to explore those too.

incredible!
audiobooks can be hit or miss for me because of the narration but the narrators killed it for this book and It had me (literally) at the edge of my seat, and at other times with a goofy grin on my face while listening on the bus during my daily commute, etc. was so good I couldn't put it down! and as someone else said, I also couldn't stop thinking of the story whenever I did have to do something else! really awesome summer read!!
