Clean, Christian fiction for young girls. And there's horses. So, yeah. Definitely recommended!

I wish these books were more like the Christy Miller series and we got to follow DJ longer. The ending feels kind of abrupt and I don't love the epilogue. I mean, it's cool to see where she ends up, but it doesn't feel satisfactory and I'd almost rather have had it end before the epilogue and I get to imagine my own ending.

These are cute books. Fun for horse lovers, clean, and great for younger teen girls. All other writing critiques aside, I love that they are written with deep point of view!!!!
