"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

Contemporary sapphic romance gained a prominent entry with Something to Talk About, a slow-burn Hollywood romance that became the first queer female romance printed by Berkley Books. Meryl Wilsner writes contemporary romances focused on queer characters who love women, delivering stories that range from ultra-slow-burn workplace dynamics to high-heat age-gap relationships.
Wilsner was born in Michigan in 1990 and studied political science at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Before returning to Michigan, Wilsner lived in Portland and in Jackson, Mississippi, and currently resides in Grand Rapids with their wife. Wilsner began writing creative fiction at an early age and honed their craft by writing fanfiction online. Participating in the Pitch Wars mentorship program helped launch their traditional publishing career, leading to the acquisition of their debut novel Something to Talk About, which was published in 2020 to critical recognition and starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal.
Wilsner's novels explore the emotional complexities, missteps, and vulnerabilities of human relationships within LGBTQ romance. Their narrative pacing varies widely across titles: while Something to Talk About relies on a gradual buildup before romantic intimacy occurs, their sophomore novel Mistakes Were Made opens immediately with an intimate encounter, demonstrating flexibility across different romantic tropes. Their stories regularly emphasize authentic queer representation, humor, mutual respect, and the messy decisions real people make when navigating love. Their catalog also incorporates popular sports and contemporary tropes, such as the professional soccer setting in Cleat Cute and getaway dynamics in My Best Friend's Honeymoon.
