No One Needs to Know by Lindsay Cameron
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

No One Needs to Know was a quick and entertaining read. I was instantly drawn into the storyline and was not disappointed. It was so fun to read. I could not help but wonder what would happen if this was really happening in real life. Social media is the center of many individual's world and hiding under a veil anominity makes it more fun, especially when sharing secrets. When that veil is dropped all heck breaks loose. This book was loads of fun and I think it would make a great book club book!!!

"What an irresistibly readable novel Christy Cashman has written! Her young heroine Reese is an astonishing creation, warmly sympathetic, impulsive, unpredictable, brash, loyal and loving, endearing, exasperating, most of all memorable— a triumphant portrait of tumultuous adolescence in our time. "The Truth About Horses" plunges us into a beautifully evoked rural world in which horses are both magnificent beasts requiring human love and devotion, and iconic creatures out of mythology.” –Joyce Carol Oates, American Novelist, Short Story Writer and Essayist

About THE TRUTH ABOUT HORSES :

Just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse, fourteen-year-old Reese discovers they can — in the worst possible way. 

Her family’s dream of winning the Black Elk race is shattered when their beloved horse, Trusted Treasure, falls at the last jump. Reese witnesses the family’s finances, hopes, and happiness go up in smoke. While still reeling from that loss, the family suffers a second tragedy, resulting in the sale of Trusted Treasure that irreparably damages Reese’s relationship with her father. Heartbroken, Reese searches everywhere to find Trusted Treasure in the hopes she can bring him home and heal the rift with her father.

Then, during an unexpected turn of events, Reese meets Wes, a selective mute, whose way of training horses is unlike anything she’s ever seen. If anyone can win the Black Elk, it’s Wes, but he’s struggling with his troubled past, and having a teenage girl hanging around his barn isn’t exactly what he’d planned. Reese must prove her worth, against all odds, if she wants to heal her family, help Wes, and show them all that some dreams are worth fighting for.
