Updated with full review ...
Started with an intriguing beginning, a horse lover's perfect read ... If they don't mind the middle-grade story.
I saw in one review this was a good book for reads 8-80, I have to disagree, while Selah's Stolen Dream has a cute title its story is lacking in anything other than a love for horses making it a story for younger readers.
It was cute enough but I felt like the characters were too whiny, and at one point the dad told Selah that she needed to act older than her thirteen years though losing her horse … Um, why?
And the fact she met someone who contacted her online was a big turn off for me, so dangerous, and yes, her parents took away social media but Selah offered excuses about why she did it and I didn't feel she was truly repentant.
So, while it was an all right story I just didn't love it or even really like it, plus there were inconsistencies in the plotline. I dredged through the last 50% with barely any interest.
The parents in the book felt underdeveloped, and honestly, the girls seemed to know better than their parents in a disrespectful way and they undermine their parents with little to no consequences it seemed.
I had hoped to find something redeeming in the last half of the book but I didn't.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.… (altro)
