Objects in Mirror
Starving, starving … Grace is always starving these days.
But Grace is also strong, and determined, and skinny. For the first time ever Grace is as thin as she wants to be – nearly – and there’s no way she’s giving that up.
Except, what if she has to give up other things to be able to keep wearing her new “skinny” breeches?
What if it comes down to a choice between all the horses she loves – Sprite, the ferocious jumper, and Iowa, the sweet greenie, and Whinny, the abused but tough mare – and the numbers on the scale, the numbers on food labels, the numbers always running through her head?
Grace knows what her stepmother, Annabelle, wants her to decide. She knows what Matt – gorgeous, amazing Matt – wants her to do. She knows what the doctors think.
But she also knows nobody else can make this decision for her. And sometimes she’s not even sure if she’s got the strength to do it.
There is danger in living with anorexia, and there is also hope. Objects in Mirror is a truthful exploration of these extremes and of the struggles that lie between them.

Well-written horse fiction, that is also an engaging account of main character Grace's battle with anorexia. While anorexia books are relatively common, it is unusual to find one that is equine-related. (It shouldn't be unusual; riding is a sport where being skinny is common and I would guess an awful lot of teens are feeling pressure to be thinner than they should be.)
I've read anorexia-themed books that seem to glorify being skinny, and it was great to read a book that didn't do this. Very well done male love interest who did not seem to influence Grace to be skinny, and he was also involved with horses, which makes him even better!
The horse parts of the book are very well done. Grace works with some rescued horses, and the story is realistic instead of trite. I have high standards for horse fiction and it really bugs me when the horses are inaccurate. Author Tudor Robins is obviously familiar with horses and their care as well as riding, and it shows in her books. Enjoyed it!
Recommend to anyone who likes YA lit, or horse related fiction!

*I RECIEVED AN E-ARC FROM NETGALLEY IN EXCHANGE FOR MY HONEST REVIEW*
Objects in the Mirror is about Grace, a 15 year old girl who loves horse riding, and also suffers from anorexia.
I really enjoyed this book. As a die-hard horse lover, this was right up my alley. I couldn't imagine anywhere I'd rather be when I was 15 - in that way I was just like Grace.
But there is also a more serious side to this story - Grace's anorexia. I really loved how the author handled this sensitive topic.
Over all a well written and enjoyable read. I'll be reading more from this author, thats for sure!

Need a horse book for older teen readers? The number one author I always turn to is Tudor Robins. In Objects in Mirror, as in all her books, she expertly combines stunning horse knowledge and the precious bond between rider and horse with the every day challenges of being a young adult, growing up, and falling in love. Objects in Mirror also incorporates themes of mental health and anorexia. It is a beautiful, easy-to-love story that is sure to delight readers.
Grace lives to ride. She loves pushing herself on the temperamental but brilliant jumper Sprite. So when Sprite is sold and the chance to show him each week removed, Grace is instead offered the chance to work at Stonegate and help rehabilitate an abused mare. But the contrast between abused and starving Whinny and the pressure Grace is under to constantly monitor what she eats and the numbers running through her head and on the scales hits a little too close to home. With the support of her stepmother and fellow stable worker, Matt, Grace must choose between the horses she loves or the numbers she clings to.
Complex, moving and yet light and fun, Objects in Mirror is the perfect contemporary YA horse book. I loved Grace’s relationship with the horses in this story. She is a talented rider, but her respect and love for these animals is what really shines through. While Grace juggles the demands of her new job and caring for Whinny she is also facing great personal battles. The way Grace battles anorexia is a realistic step by step process and she needs and draws upon the support of those around her.
The romance in Objects in Mirror is a sweet addition to the story and Matt is wonderfully supportive of Grace and yet he challenges her and pushes her. I also particularly loved Grace’s relationship with her stepmother and how this grows and changes over the course of the events of this book.
Objects in Mirror is the first book in the Stonegate series and I look forward to sharing this and future titles with our library readers.
The publishers provided an advanced readers copy of this book for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.

Sometimes objects in the mirror are nothing but a distorted version of the truth.
This book is one of those books that you just want to give to everyone because it opens a window to what it is like living with an eating disorder. Not only do you get to read what it feels like to have the disorder, but how the illness affects everyone, family, friends and yes... in this case, horses.
Grace is in a constant battle with herself. She knows she has to eat, but when she can go without food, she feels as if she is in control of her life. She has a counsellor from hell, Dr Kellor who sees the disorder but not the patient. As does her absent father, who cares so much that he wants to sends her to a specialist boarding school for those with anorexia, but doesn't seem to want to spend any time with his daughter at all. He hasn't seen her for so long that he doesn't even know her and yet, he feels it is his right to decide what is best for her life. Neither her father or Dr Kellor understand how important horses are to Grace, but thankful, her step-mother and Matt, a colleague, does. And unlike the paid professional, Matt knows just what buttons to push.
There is a scene in this book where Matt does something so utterly fantastic that it transforms the way Grace looks at herself, hopefully forever. It is a scene that will stay with me for a very long time. I won't give away spoilers, but please...read this book!!
I loved this book, and I think it can do a lot of good to those struggling with an eating disorder and for those who want to understand it. There is plenty of equestrian action too and a charmingly sweet romance.
I Highly Recommend.

I was happy to have the opportunity to review a book by a local author!
Goodreads summary:
I enjoyed this book. Right away, I liked Grace. She was a nice, likeable girl but when we come into the story, she seems to have been dealing with an eating disorder for some time. The author interview in the back of the book reveals that she had an eating disorder in the past, and I think she’s written a story that presents the state of mind of someone with an eating disorder really well. I felt that I could follow Grace’s reasons and motivations for her behaviour.
In addition to Sprite, the horse she’s been riding, being sold to a new owner, Grace is dealing with some family issues. Her father lives in England, leaving her to live with her stepmother and younger brother. While they get along, Grace’s stepmother is attending counseling with Grace for her eating disorder, which causes tension between the two of them. But Grace is offered a job at her stable, which seems like the perfect way to spend her summer: she can avoid meals and burn extra calories, not to mention working with the very cute Matt all summer. Things seem to be going well, but through peeks into Grace’s journal – where she tracks her calories and exercise – she seems to be on the edge of losing control.
I really liked reading about working at the barn and horse-riding. It’s a totally different world, and I don’t think I’ve ever read any books involving horses. I haven’t even read classics like Black Beauty! I really enjoyed reading a contemporary story that managed to feel unique from the others I’ve read before.
The romance that developed between Matt and Grace was sweet. It moved slowly, which I found realistic, and I liked that Matt challenged Grace. He could see what she was doing to herself with her eating disorder and wasn’t going to be willfully blind to it. There was an especially great section of the book where the barn takes in some mistreated horses, and Grace had a moment where she was tending to a malnourished horse and reflects on the way the horse had no control over the way its owner had treated it, yet Grace was purposely starving herself. In the end, I was happy to see Grace on the path to healing.
The story was well written, and at times I could feel myself in the fields with Grace, with the scents of summer on the breeze. There was a late-developing twist involving Grace’s father that I felt like was resolved a bit quickly, perhaps because I was interested in learning more about her father and their relationship, but my overall opinion on the book is that it was a well-written, enjoyable story, and by a Canadian author! This is definitely a recommended read!

Goodreads summary:
Grace is looking forward to spending her summer weekends at horse shows riding new and spirited horse Sprite to the medal podium. But things don’t always go as planned. It seems that her summer is ruined when Sprite is sold by the riding stable to a new owner. Other opportunities present themselves however – Grace is now going to live her dream. She will be spending all summer working with horses in her new job helping the trainers at the stables. With handsome new coworker Matt and a fragile, damaged mare that needs extra special care, Grace’s summer seems perfect. She can’t hide from the truth though – the eating disorder that she is starting to acknowledge but not truly understand is rearing its ugly head and threatens to derail everything. Will she be able to heal herself along with the horses she is caring for?

I could never say enough glowing things about the writing of Tudor Robins. Every book is unique and covers vastly different human topics at its core. Objects in Mirror is no different. First and foremost: Trigger Warning for Eating Disorders. Grace is struggling, from her body dysmorphia to the delusion of control she exercises over her eating or lack thereof. She has to learn how to overcome those thoughts because if she doesn’t she may not get to continue doing what she loves most, riding and working horses. A horse centered story with a meaningful message. Thankfully Grace is loved and surrounded by those who only want what’s best for her, and in time she begins to see that. Ms. Robins writes such a profound story, and such sweet loving characters within, while still holding onto that “cozy easy weekend read" feel that readers (especially me) love to pair with a blanket and a hot cup of tea. This is book 1 of 3 and I highly recommend the entire Stonegate series, if you have an open weekend!

Wow, what a fantastic book! The story is compelling, the characters feel real, and the worldbuilding is great. The love for horses shines through the entire book, and Grace’s feelings are very well described. I loved her character development! Highly recommended.

No surprise, I loved this book like I loved all her other books.
Her bio at the end of this books states: ‘Tudor Robins is the author of books that move —she wants to move your heart, mind, and pulse with her writing‘, and she certainly does that.
I don’t want to give any spoilers, so I won’t get into the storylines. All that really matters, is that Tudor Robins manages to weave several storylines together in a masterful way. The book is beautifully written; it flows, and pushes and pulls the reader’s heart and mind. This book is not full of heart pounding action, nor a rollercoaster of teen angst. No, this book is even better. It’s very subtle and just the right pace. It deals with important topics, but doesn’t clobber you over the head, like some other books do. Tudor Robins trusts in the intelligence and empathy of the reader to understand the topics, and feel struggles and victories of the characters.
That’s what I value in a great story, and that’s what I appreciate about the author, and which makes her one of my favourites.
Final verdict: highly recommended (now I’m clobbering readers in the head with a bat, but I am not a writer)

I was lucky enough to receive this story from the author and am so happy that I got the opportunity to read and review it. I love everything I've read by Tudor Robins. I really know very little about horses and horseback riding in general. She always manages to explain everything just enough so I know what is going on with the horses but not too much to make it boring. I always get such beautiful imagery with her books as well. I could picture the riding and the stables perfectly. I loved Grace as a character. She is flawed in that she has been battling anorexia for sometime, but she has such an amazing support system around her that it was so inspiring to see her pull herself up and want to recover and want to get better not only for herself, but for others. I think the relationship between Matt and Grace blossomed beautifully and very sweetly. He seemed like such a genuinely nice guy and that's exactly what Grace needed. A wonderful story overall! I can't wait to read the next book by Tudor Robins!

March 14, 2021I don't care if you are not interested in horses. If you are interested in mental health and in particular how to deal with an eating disorder then this book is a must read. I honestly think that this novel should be given out in hospitals because it shines a glaring light on what it is like to not only be someone who has an eating disorder, but also what it is like to be around someone, whom you love, who so happens to have an eating disorder. This novel is a must read.
Grace is fighting a truly terrifying war with herself, and for those who choose to remain ignorant of what an eating disorder can do to a person this book will shine a light upon the disorder. Even the "specialists" at times seem to have no idea what the best cause of action is.
The only thing that keeps Grace going and fighting is her love for horses and Matt.
This novel is one of those books that I would happily read again again. A first class novel by a first class author.

I realize I'm not in the target audience for this novel. I often enjoy YA despite my teens being a fond but distant memory, but I'm not a horse person. My few experiences with horses have mostly been bad, and I've rarely been drawn into a story where horses play a dominant role. The book includes a lot of equestrian terminology, and although understanding it isn't essential to following the story, not understanding it took away a bit from getting fully absorbed.
That said, I enjoyed it more than I expected to. The story is well-written and the characters are very interesting. I'm sure if I were younger - and was into horses - I'd have given it at least a 4.

This was pretty good, but not entirely. I think that the portrayal of anorexia in this book was problematic (though this is coming from someone who has never suffered from an eating disorder). It seemed that she wasn't trying until the romantic interest wanted her to. It could easily be triggering for someone who has had an eating disorder in the past, but the story was addicting and kept me reading!

Grace is offered a job at her stable for the summer, a chance to earn money and work with horses all summer. Working through her eating disorder, working with horses and working on becoming friends with a boy from the stables.
Objects is well written and will make any barn girl want to hug her horse and go for a ride.

I FLEW through this remarkable book and I was so upset when it ended! I can't wait for more of this story. Tudor is such a beautiful writer who understands horses and horse-people inside and out. A must read.

This was a good book. I liked the story line and had a brief look into what goes on in a young girls mind that has a eating disorder and how working with horses changes her outlook on life. I would recommend this book to all horse lovers.

Good story. Well develooed characters, horses. The horse scenes are well described, realistic. Story of an anorexic, horse crazy teen draws you in and keeps you reading and pulling for her. Love the ending.

Great story about a teen girl with a distant dad and how she overcomes her problems. It's set in the world of horse riding, and is similar to the author's later novels.

I really enjoyed this book. Great characters (both human and horse) and an interesting premise. The family dynamics in this book are wonderful.

Three great reasons I love this book. Horses, anorexia explained and young romance all done with expert quality.

A very nice story about not perfect family relationship, horses and eating disorders. Ready for the next book in the serie !

I'm not much of a YA reader, but I loved this charming little book. With YA these days tending to focus on dystopian societies and bleak worlds, it's great to see a novel that talks about traditional YA issues - love, responsibility, family, and finding a place where you belong.
This book tells the tale of Grace, a 15 year old girl who loves horses. When she gets a job at her riding school for the summer, it's a chance to immerse herself in that world - but also to possibly find a place to heal from her eating disorder.
Despite dealing with heavy themes, the book is gentle, caring, and sweet. Grace has her flaws but is a pleasure to spend time with, and I especially loved the scenes with her family, where she shows her strengths. There's also an adorable love story - Matt, the main hand at the farm, is every teenage girl's dream, and their story is swoony in the best possible way.
Also great: the horses. I know nothing about horse showing/jumping, but this storyline just gripped me. There's scenes in the ring that are full of tension and power; there's also a story about injured horses that is heartbreaking and, in the end, triumphant. There's several horses featured in the book and each one has its own personality - kind of makes you want to saddle up.
Definitely recommended for your teenaged daughter - a fantastic alternative to the dark stories circulating today.
