Good Girl Mistake. The Dating Series, #1

Emilia has spent years making life easier for everyone else. She says yes when she wants to say no. She apologizes before anyone asks. She waits for a relationship that never seems ready to become real because disappointing someone has always felt worse than disappointing herself. Then one honest text changes everything. Suddenly, old patterns no longer fit. Her mother doesn't understand the new boundaries.
The man she's been waiting for finally wants answers. A stubborn elderly dog chooses the worst possible week to develop expensive new sounds. And while dealing with unexpected car trouble, Emilia meets Dean, a mechanic who never asks her to become smaller to make him comfortable. For the first time, Emilia begins choosing honesty over approval. Not perfectly. Not all at once. But one ordinary decision at a time.
Good Girl Mistake is a warm, funny contemporary romantic comedy about almost-relationships, emotional growth, female friendship, family expectations, and discovering that the right kind of love leaves room for you to remain yourself. For readers who enjoy character-driven romance, witty dialogue, gentle humor, and heroines who are still figuring life out.
