About the Book



Jilted and disillusioned, three unlikely friends discover each of their dysfunctional exes have shaped up to become someone else's Mr. Right.



Book Synopsis



"A perfect blend of romance, humor, and an uplifting conclusion, this book will make you laugh, cry, and want to read it all over again." -Andrea Hurst, bestselling author of The Guestbook

Ever wonder why your ex finally became Mr. Right-for somebody else?

Carolyn, Ava, and Jazmine have something infuriating in common: the dysfunctional men they once loved have somehow transformed into the partners they always wanted them to be.

For other women.

Jilted, disillusioned, and determined not to make the same mistakes twice, the three unlikely friends form the Red Flag Society to figure out what went wrong-and how to spot disaster before falling for it again.

Soon their search for answers becomes a podcast, their unlikely friendship becomes something none of them knew they needed, and one uncomfortable question becomes harder to avoid:

What if their exes weren't the only ones who needed to change?

As old patterns collide with unexpected possibilities, Carolyn, Ava, and Jazmine discover that starting over isn't about finding the perfect man. It's about finally understanding what they want, who they are, and which mistakes might just be worth making.

Before the Next Mistake is a funny, heartfelt novel about female friendship, found family, second chances-and the people we become after love doesn't go according to plan.

Perfect for readers who love witty, character-driven women's fiction about complicated relationships, messy lives, and the friends who get us through both.

A Heartfelt & Uplifting Story

Before the Next Mistake is a powerful story about self growth. Cate Perry's story is a melting pot of humor, hardships, & love in all forms which paint a timeless story of learning from one's own mistakes to be a better person, the person you're meant to be. Much like this author has guided, shaped, & grown lives for decades in person, her milestone achievement with this novel encompasses her wisdom & love that is her legacy. Cate Perry was my teacher in high school. She both figuratively & literally held my hand through a very dark time in my life. Through this book, which I had the honor of being at the launch for, she has done the same kindness for me once more. And I know countless people as students, friends, family, strangers, & readers can say the same thing.
