In my book right now there are many confusing things going on. To start the book there is the girl named Massie. Her family has family friends that are moving into town and since they don't have enough money to buy a house of there own right now they are staying in Massie's guest house. Massie from the very beginning doesn't like this family because they came on a day she had plans with her three best friends and she had to cancel. In the family coming to stay in there house there is a girl named Claire that is the same age as Massie, Claire decided it would be a great idea to become friends with Massie because she knows the new school she is going to and she seems nice. So Claire tries to become friends with Massie but Massie doesn't really like Claire and thinks she will ruin her friends tight relationship. Massie is all caught up wit this drama so she decided to go to her barn. She decided to take her mind off of Claire and ride her horse named Brownie. They headed to the trail and were off. As Massie and Brownie were riding she ran into this guy on her private trail! They get to talking and and she finds out that the guy goes to Northside a school near hers and is really into him. She decides she should leave and get back to her house but they make plans to meet some other time. Massie is so excited to have met this guy that right when she gets home she calls her friends and tells them she has someone on her eye. While doing this Claire is there and right when she hangs up she gets really nosey about who it is and what he looks like. This is the spot where I have left off in my book.

I really liek this book so far. I had read it once before and was a little confused but now I completely get it. I really like realistic fiction which has helped me like this book alot better. This book is alos meant for girls and has a lot of girly stuff in it so it is easier to relate to.

I think the dominant theme in this book so far is overcoming obstacles and friendship. These two I think are tied together in one. I see these when Claire is trying to become Massie's friend and keeps getting rejected which is an obstacle she has to overcome.

My favoritre character is Claire a sof right now. This is because she seems really nice and I can totally relate to being excluded and I think she is dealing with that really well.

My least favorite character is Massie right now just because I think she should be more caring to Claire because she is going through a hard time being new and not be trying top put her down.

Since I have read this book before I know what is going to happen next. Massie tries to get her friends to be part of being mean to Claire whihc goes on for a while. The end of the book was definetley not what I thought it would be because I thought they would all be friends in the end which was completely off. They are all in fueds with eachother which is how the next book starts.
