This is everything I want in a YA contemporary. There was drama, there was emotion, friendships, found family and regular family, and I loved it all. I think Erin Hahn did a beautiful job discussing grief and what it's like to lose someone, but it didn't feel overwhelmingly heavy. In fact, the friendships and eventually the love story were so important and well done that it made the book quite balanced. I loved the ranch setting and how I learned more about horses, barrel racing and bull riding. I can't believe I put off reading this bokk because it was truly so wonderful. Something about this book just felt so profound and I love Erin's writing. For such a short nook the character development was also top tier and the romance felt so natural. I'm a huge Erin fan and I love her books. Thanks to Wednesday Books for sending me an e-ARC and a finished copy!
