This one is not my favorite. First off, Sasha lies like hell. Second, I hate Callie. She's been a bitch sine like book 3. She and Sasha have so many rips in their friendship that they aren't recovered by where I'm at now, on the last book (12) and they probably will only ever some to a truce. And thirdly, I just don't like Callie. It bears repeating. She's an unreasonable character.

I love how effortless it is to read these books. They all flow together and you don’t have to think while you read them, you just keep flipping pages until all of a sudden, you’re done with the book.

2020 Reread
I remembered how the end of this book went down however, Sasha and Jacob were driving me CRAZY in this book. It made me so angry that Sasha thought she could save everything by not being honest with literally everyone. Jacob actually made me even angrier than Sasha though, because he was

Spoiler

openly saying that he still had feelings for Sasha but he continued his relationship with Callie. WHY? It would have been much less messy if he had broken up with her right away (like, even back before the summer).

I hated Jasmine for sticking her nose in everyone's business, but hey, at least she calls people out and makes things interesting.

Ah. Going through all my past ratings on certain books makes me laugh but also cry inside from my lack of taste. However, my original opinion of this book still stands, and at least I was smart enough to have always rated this a 2 stars. Mostly for the nostalgia and memories. I went through a horses phase in elementary school, and I had a birthday cake with a horse on it because I liked this series so much. That was before I got to this book though. I'm surprised I'm able to remember most of the plot and events still. I can't remember when I donated these books away because I don't have them anymore.

This was the book where everything started going downhill for me. Seriously, it's like watching a really bad train wreck. Sasha tells lies upon lies upon lies. I feel so bad for Callie, Paige, and Eric. Sasha has a kind, sweet, romantic boyfriend and she ruins that by eventually getting with Jacob, my least favorite character in this entire series. WHY?!?! I honestly can't believe I read the other books that came after this one. My patience as a child was astounding.

I'm sorry Eric. Paige. Callie. I wish Sasha wasn't a complete idiot. This Sasha is not the original Sasha I loved and cared about from the first couple of books.

The drama in it made it more interesting in this book. But I'm curious what happens next.Soon to find out. Love this book.Love the series.
