Evening!!!

Welcome all to a new Waiting on Wednesday~ Wednesday is here! And I just wish it was weekend, haha. 💤😴💤😴

I was so excited when I saw this book pop up on Twitter, I really enjoyed the Canterwood Crest series and I was eagerly looking forward for more horse/boarding school books by this author. And finally! FINALLY! There is something new happening, Saddlehill Academy, with the very first book named Sweet & Bitter Rivals! It sounds a lot like Canterwood Crest, but I don’t mind. I want it. Now. Stat. It combines two of my favourite things, boarding school x horses. Competitions. Friendship. And more!

I am hoping that the rivalry isn’t too much, or too annoying, I don’t mind some rivalry but sometimes peeps go way too far and that is just no fun. I am also curious about the unwitting sabotage and how Abby will handle with that (please, talk to someone, please just talk).

And as a cover lover, I love the cover! It is so much fun. Such a pretty art style and I need to know the illustrator!

From the author of the Canterwood Crest series comes the first book in a middle grade series about an equestrian boarding school following a girl who struggles to keep her eyes on the prize while receiving anonymous threats.

Abby St. Clair can’t wait to start another season with her elite riding team at her boarding school. She has something to prove after literally falling on her face during the biggest competition of the year the previous season. And she could really use a win after her mom left her family, her dad remarried, and Abby’s new stepsister, Emery, proved to be a strong rider and stiff competition.

Abby wants to return to some semblance of normal but is hiding a secret: she accidentally cost her biggest rival, Selly, a chance at team captain. Then Abby begins to receive anonymous messages, threatening to expose her unwitting sabotage and a video that makes it look like she’s trash-talking Emery. With an important competition on the horizon and the knowledge that someone in her circle knows way too much about her, the pressure is on.

Abby tries to put on blinders and have the perfect meet with her horse, Beau, but she’s about to find out the hard way that secrets don’t make friends at Saddlehill Academy.
