Children's Literature - Jill Walton
The good life on the horse circuit is not easy whether one lives in the "one per cent" strata like Tommi and Zara or "needs must make ends meet," like Kate. Parties, intrigue, accidents, horse shows, troubled parents, neglectful parents, these teenage girls have it all! Tommi has a new boyfriend, Alex, and she wants to spend more time with him and less time training horses. Tommi trains horses to be sold to the highest bidder, but sometimes the highest bidder is not the right choice for the horse. Alex does not recognize that Tommi needs to party less to fulfill her commitments. Zara is in constant party mode but suddenly she has been outdone. Zara is now approaching the day she will have to deal with one of her divorced absent parents, her actress mother is coming for a visit. Zara's famous father, off to Europe, left her in the care of a young relative who has trashed the place and skipped. Kate is dealing with her mother's OCD and developing a mental health issue of her own. Is her love interest, Fitz, good for her or another self-destructive force in her life? Tommi and Zara are worried about Kate and attempt an intervention. All girls, Tommi, Zara and Kate are committed to their stable, Pelham Lane. Most problems are not solved in this second of the "A Circuit Novel" series. Romance, wealth and girls who are the savviest about horses will appeal to young female readers of this series. It is a light read for entertainment.
