I liked the short chapters and being in the horse world, but the wrap up was not the best.

MMD Book Club May 2024. Dropped into the world of competitive show horses and teenage girls, where there’s been a murder. A quick read, but I didn’t love this one. I wasn’t invested in any of the characters and I didn’t always feel that the character growth was earned. However, the book’s structure and central mystery kept me turning pages, so I did find it entertaining. Reminded me of a YA “Big Little Lies”, in some ways.

This book is definitely for people who are interested in the horse world but don’t know enough about horses to be annoyed with the lack of reality in this story. The author has some familiarity with barn life so she may have dumbed it down to make it more accessible for non horse people. It is compelling enough to keep reading but the writing is very average as is the plot. It’s a decent book to read before bed as you won’t be tempted to stay up all night to finish.
