Review # 1 was written on 2020-08-02 00:00:00 Kaye Wade While I liked some of the drama in the first 1/3 of the book and the resolution in the last 1/3 of the book, I can't help but view this as a horse girl soap opera that got reduced to cheap characterizations with very poor portrayals of sisterhood. I disliked how the sisters were caricatures - one blonde, skinny, and perfect; the other fat, smart, and unpopular. I especially disliked how these differences made the fat sister jealous, vindictive, and passive-aggressive towards the other one, especially over another guy. The constant emphasis on how fat and insecure she was throughout the story made me uncomfortable because I'm not sure if the author is/has been fat or is reducing this character into a stereotype. I also don't feel quite right about Dallas, the Native American love interest who's portrayed as a devilish, dangerous, and seductive man ready to steal your white woman… he's definitely sympathetic throughout the story and I cared for him, but there are so many implications with the things he does that it didn't sit right with me to read this from a white author. All of these caricatures made it difficult for me to fully embrace this story.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-08-20 00:00:00 Tommy Taylor True Colours by Kristin Hannah is the second book I've read by this author and it's the second time I've spent half the time reading either on the verge of tears, sniffling , crying or getting frustrated (a tip from one reader to another remember the tissues 🤧) This book has everything from forbidden love, teenage love, complicated family relationships, a murder, a wrong conviction and freedom. It's definitely worth reading even if it is heartbreaking at times but the ending makes all the shed tears worth it (you'll probably end up sniffling again) I highly recommend it 📖
