Different from the others

This book showed a different side of Carol and made me actually enjoy the book more. At many times Carol and Lisa almost seem to be "too good to be true." This book made Carol seem a bit more normal.When Carol's dad offers to let Marie Dana stay with them for two weeks while her mother is in Europe Carol initially is excited about the prospect because she has never had a sister. She has some large problems adjsuting to her house guest though: everything from the radio being turned on too late at night to her father spending time with the guest trying to make her feel welcome. In my opinion Carol's jealousy was very realistic and normal for any person. I really liked how the ending turned out with Carol and Marie understanding each other better though; it made a nice closure to the story.Overall a good story that was grounded and realistic.

Carole What's wrong?

I think Riding Lesson was a great book!But I think Carole could have been nicer to everyone,insted of being selfish and rude. But I'm happy everyone made up.
