It’s not that I didn’t like this book at the end of the day. It’s just that for there wasn’t necessarily anything to like about it. I commend the author for sitting down and writing a book because that’s something amazing in itself. 

However, the plot, romance, and writing style just felt like bare bones. It seemed like when you’re jotting down a scene really quickly to get it out of your head but then you forget to go back and add any depth or details later. There was a LOT of telling and not a lot of showing. 

For example, instead of the FMC describing her best friend and friendship, she simply said: Teddy is my best friend. Over and over. Like yeah. I can get that from context clues I don’t need to me reminded verbatim every time she’s on the page. 

Basically, everything could have been expanded upon. The plot, the characters, the back story, the romance. Everything felt half done. Unfinished. Nothing surprised me. Even little things that I hoped would be foreshadowing of something to come like Emmy being reminded to always shut the front door, or her relationship with the riding industry, or her ex-boyfriend who she left in Chicago at the drop of a hat and we can sentence saying he was mildly controlling, none of this came to to any fruition or had any significance. 

I’m the end. It was fine. I’m sure other people can enjoy it and I wish the author the best of luck with her future books! There is definitely potential.
