Dark Horses by Cecily Von Ziegesar

2.0

This book was really dark. I wanted to like it and I did like some of it but overall it was either cheesy or depressing. Trigger warning for a lot of death and suicide themes. Trigger warning for alcoholism and drug use. I didn't feel like the ending was very well done and it was frustrating that we didn't get to see more of what happened to the characters. I hated the parents in this book so much, they were so selfish and awful. They just let their daughter drop out of school and go off with some stranger to compete in horse shows? Seriously? Ugh... It was okay but comparing this book to Black Beauty is not realistic in any way.
