Welcome to Litsy!

This is a tough one. Roan is a skilled equestrian who dreams of one day competing in the Olympics, following in the footsteps of her medal-winning father, Monty. Theirs is a close relationship. Too close. When she becomes involved with a boy at school, her carefully compartmentalized life starts to unravel. This book is graphic and heartbreaking and potentially triggering, but I was wholly invested in Roan and HATED her “Daddy”.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
This book was a hard one to read, dealing with some intense issues but I couldn't put it down!! It was well written and the title couldn't be more perfect!

On chapter three and LOVING this book!!

This book made me wanna throw something across the room many times. 😤😵🤢

My first pick for #LittenListen and #bookspinbingo!

It's a crazy day at work, so I'm not getting much listening in, but hopefully I'll get some time this evening.

It was good. Not great, but still worth reading.
I learned a lot about event riding, and the plot never lagged; however, the author allowed the usual convenience of having teenagers behave like wise adults, which interrupted my suspension of disbelief.
⚠️ sexual abuse

Trigger Warning ⚠️ This book deals with incest, child sexual abuse, drug abuse. How do you even review a book like this? Though disturbing, this book does one of the best jobs illustrating the impact of trauma and abuse and the complicated relationship that often exists between abuser and victim. The dissociation Roan experiences, the compartmentalizing, the struggle for control of any portion of her life rings true. Fantastic but tough read.

Guys. This is fucking TWISTED. Like...part of me doesn‘t want to keep reading, but I also can‘t look away? 😬 #darkhorses #susanmihalic

It has been the QUIETEST here for the last hour or so, which has been wonderful since I walked into sheer chaos when I got here. So, I‘m starting in on this to make the next hour - at the end of which I‘ll get to go home! - go just as quickly! #darkhorses #susanmihalic
