Wednesday Riders focuses more on the personal issues of grief and finding one’s identity than on horses. I do appreciate this; after all, there is more to life than horses! However, I found that all the drama in Wednesday Riders took up a bit too much time and didn’t allow for the other parts of the plot to really shine.Wednesday Riders takes place a year after Appaloosa Summer. Meg returns to The Island, hoping to spend another summer working at Carl and Betsy’s B and B while continuing her romance with Jared. However, a confession from Jared changes everything. Besides that, Meg finds herself in charge of coaching a group of kids for a musical ride, which proves to be no easy task.Holy cow, there was so much conflict in this. Meg and Jared’s relationship issues really took up a lot of the book. Unlike Appaloosa Summer, I didn’t enjoy the way that grief was featured in this book. Meg whines and cries a lot, which is understandable after a tough break up. But then she tries to do some pretty hateful things to him, which I found rather immature and irritating. Jared was no better. There were a few reveals regarding his betrayal, and I felt like he was being rather selfish by keeping secrets from Meg after he had already broken her heart. Anyway, there’s a lot of drama with their relationship, and I wasn’t really happy with it. A lot of Meg and Jared’s actions came off as immature and mean. I’m sure that others will enjoy the drama and find it fun, but unfortunately I don’t really tolerate stuff like that well.There was some conflict between the girls in the musical ride group that I preferred to Meg and Jared’s issues. The author’s portrayal of the drama between Lacey and Bridget was a typical part of growing up.
