What if you had to choose between the life that you loved and the love of your life?
Last year, I had it all: two jumpers on the show circuit, a lot of wins, and a lot of attention - the good kind. But now I have nothing. My life is circling the drain. The only spark of light that exists for me is my new, forbidden passion. If my stepfather finds out, he will kill me. My twin brother, my only blood relative in the world, has already begged me not to. But I can't help myself. If it can't be horses, it has to be this...

It strikes me that there doesn't seem to be a explanation for the stars that are given. So I thought I'd start giving my take on it.
1 horrible no redeeming qualities.
2 there are redeeming qualities.
3 good worth reading, or well written but not my cup of tea.
4 great but there's something off.
5 loved it.
Argg, everything I started to write becomes a spoiler. I HATE spoilers so I think I'll just go on to say that the narration gives the story life.

In addition, my skin crawls at Tea's obsession with sex and her unfortunate obsession and clinginess - I guess this is seen as representing teenagers but I do not agree with this annoying stereotype: Yes hormones are surging in the teen years but for me it was with restraint, not hanging off the opposite sex like a clinging out of control monkey trying to get orgasms like some sort of drug. Perhaps Tea should have asked Jaden to piggyback her everywhere or carry her like a cavewoman as happened on occasions. This idea of teenagers being one out-of-control hormonal reaction is very distasteful.
But perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this book is the concept that extreme physical assault by a parent or peer and overwhelming controlling behaviour is EVER something to accommodate. There is a great deal of overlooking, downplaying and downright denial which is concerning.
So I proceed to Book 2 with caution and hope the stronger aspects of the story prevail - the details of the horse world, the role of family, the value of close friends, and the rites of passage we all pass through.
It should be noted that the narration for this book is very competent for both male and female characters. Bravo Kasi Hollowell.
