The Mistake by Elle Kennedy

“The next few years, it’ll probably feel like I’m wandering around in a pitch-black tunnel, but there is a light at the end of it. And as long as you’re with me, there’ll be a light inside of it, too. Without you, it’ll just be darkness.”
I really am enjoying this series so far, and this second book was both cute and funny. I really liked John’s character from The Deal and I was excited to learn more about him in his story. I also loved Grace as a woman who can be both shy and a little socially awkward but still be confident and know her worth.
As an autistic woman, it’s nice to see a quirky character not be completely walked all over and not be able to stand up for themselves. You could see how Grace’s relationships with her parents and her best friend structured her own values. And John’s relationship with her father was so heartwarming, their scenes were some of my favorite parts. It’s nice to see a father not be grossly territorial over his daughter towards her partner.
Really the only issue I had was the whole premise of John thinking he liked Hannah but learning it wasn’t Hannah he liked, but Garrett’s relationship with her? I don’t know, that kinda threw me a bit. I think it would’ve made more sense for him to have a little crush than how the whole situation was portrayed. And Grace’s reaction to both his rejection and his reasoning during that time would’ve made more sense. However the whole thing just seemed kinda overly messy and confusing to me.
I’m really excited to read Dean’s book next. Cannot wait to see how one woman can tame that beast. I’m hoping for more spice in his book too. This one was a bit too tame for my tastes, especially after Garrett and Hannah’s hot romance in the first book. Either way, Elle Kennedy is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine!
