At first glance, I figured this book was yet another story about rich kids run wild at their New England boarding schools. Which is not necessarily a bad thing - I do enjoy those types of books.
But this one was different. Even though the main characters were rich and privileged, it wasn't in an annoying way - more like it was just a fact that was secondary to the story. The main character, Catherine, had many layers that made her more than just a cookie-cutter rich teen. Her relationships with her parents, her friends, her boyfriend, and her horse were deep and true. And the ending wasn't a happily-ever-after ending, yet it completely fit with the rest of the novel and was actually quite satisfying.
The author has a lyrical, soothing writing style that propelled the story forward - this is a beautifully written novel.
A quick read that will keep you engrossed. I even read it in the car while waiting in an exceptionally long drive-thru line at lunch! I highly recommend this novel - go read it! :)

This book was a waste of my time to read. I was disappointed and let down. I would not recommend it to anyone.
I didn't want to like this book as much as I did. The characters are not really likeable or admirable, but it kept my interest. It reads like YA, and is a quick read.
