Horses! Friendship! Drama! Boarding School! Queer crushes! This book is everything I needed. Follow along as Abby navigates the horse show circuit and something even more intimidating... middle school drama.

Swaying on the power line between heart-wrenching angst and laugh-out-loud hilarity, TTIR is an authentic portrait of fear, loneliness, the bone-ache sadness of not having a place to call "home," and what it means to love even and especially when you're scared, even and especially when it hurts.
