After reading the Chestnut Springs series and absolutely LOVING it, I knew I’d come back and read this series too, and I’m so glad I did! Elsie Silver’s characters are so real and relatable. The connection between them (weather main character or supporting), the found family vibes, the banter, the off the charts chemistry: it’s all FANTASTIC. But the real winner for me was the way she wrote about the horses. As an actual horse person I’m extremely wary about books with plots that revolve around them because authors almost always get it wrong. So, so wrong. Miss Silver absolutely gets it RIGHT and I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in this series!
