Title: Really hits the mark
Review: I was given this book as a gift from someone who knows how much I love horses but so many books involving animals and romance are sappy and sweet and just too much.So, I was very pleasantly surpised when I read "Riding Lessons", the more I read the more I couldn't put it down. Clearly this author gets the horse world, she understands the combination of fear and love and respect that is between rider and horse. Her writing allows you to taste, smell and feel what the main character Annemarie is feeling.I read Water for Elephants and enjoyed it very much but this book really hit home for me. Her writing is rich and sensitive and her main character is frought with flaws but the reader really relates to her and her struggles with her relationships with her mother, father, daughter and "friend" If you at all have a love for horses or just a really good and real story, give "Riding Lessons" a read.
