The good news: she likes someone.
The bad news: it’s her best friend’s mum.
From the critically acclaimed author of Something To Talk About comes a sharp and sexy rom-com about a college senior who accidentally hooks up with her best friend’s mom.
When college senior, Cassie, spends her Friday evening at an off-campus bar, she isn’t looking for a hook-up – 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 mum . . . who turns out to be the hot, older woman Cassie just slept with.
Erin was meant to spend the weekend getting closer to her daughter, not having a one-night stand. But despite her better judgement, Erin 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 might really have something real. But is being honest about the love between them worth the cost?

The story kept me hooked till the very end. A predictable age gap rom-com about a 40 something woman and her daughter’s 21yo best friend.
Has some spicy scenes, made me crack a laugh in several ocassions, i cried from excitement at the end and I’m missing the characters even after a week of finishing it (this is how i rate a book, do i miss them or not?). I recommend!

I loved this book, beautifully written.
Loved the spice and my god the strap scene, was the best one I have read so far. I was hoping for more.
I loved the plot and relationship dynamics between friends.

So good I wanna read it again straight away. I bought it ages ago but you know what Tbr lists are like.
Cracking book with great characters and a whole lotta spice. My personal fav…no silly 80% break up over a misunderstanding. Yeah the characters needed to communicate a bit better but they got around to it eventually.
Looking forward to the next one, which I definitely won’t keep pushing back.

Literally the best book I’ve read in forever!

I absolutely adored this book. I think it will 100% be up there as one of my fave sapphic romances ???????? I loved it right from the very start, it was definitely spicer than I was excepting ???? I loved Cassie as her confident attitude, I enjoyed seeing her become softer and open herself up more around Erin. I adored the friendship group Cassie had.
I loved seeing them slowly grow closer and that push and pull of trying to stay away. I did kinda guess how the story was going to play out but that didn’t stop me from enjoying it at all. It was such a cute fluffy read fro start to finish, not much angst or drama. The ending absolutely melted my heart ???? I could read books on these two. Honestly if you enjoy sapphic novels and you haven’t read this, you should ????????This is the first book I’ve read by Meryl and it certainly won’t be the last.

If you are looking for a sapphic forbidden romance, then this book is a must. Imagine hooking up with the perfect stranger only to discover the next morning that last night’s hook-up is indeed your daughter’s college best friend. The tension is great throughout as the endeavour to unsuccessfully stay away from one another. There are a few thorough spicy moments, so if that’s not your sort of cup of tea, I would stay away. There are many crucial themes present throughout Erin and Cassie’s story with some great characters: Parker, who has a significant character journey herself, and Acacia, who is such an endearing character.
