This book follows on from The Lines of Happiness and I definitely think you need to have read that first as it doesn’t offer any sort of recap. The only thing I think it did need to reiterate is that it’s set in 1998 which makes Lo’s hesitancy to come out make even more sense. The scene setting is beautiful and you can really picture the gorgeous winter Wyoming scenery.

There are some great recurring characters as well as some new ones to fall in love with. I love that you get to see that a new relationship isn’t always sunshine and rainbows especially when you’re also discovering your sexuality in a conservative town. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first one just because there is so much angst and no communication. Some of their actions felt very immature. It also seemed to wrap up very quickly after a whole book of arguments and build up. However, the end was adorable and the relationships, romantic and platonic are beautiful. I also love the horsey element.

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
