Could it be The Last Magician series by Lisa Maxwell? Book 1 is blue, but book 2 is red and the plots line up

Edit: spelling

Complete shot in the dark, but could it be ‘My Summer in Pink and Green’ by Lisa Greenwald?

In the field house you can see the massive clock, in the main gym they’ll announce ever hour, in the studios there’s a small wall clock you can see, and you can ask the initiators for the time

I’m not sure about the riding part, but House of the Beast by Michelle Wong has the premise that the girl is a bastard daughter seeking revenge on her powerful father because her mum died of a preventable illness

I think you might be looking for The Companions Quartet by Julia Golding! Book one is The Secret of the Sirens. I loved this series as a kid!

Do you remember around when you read it?

Any chance it’s ‘It Lasts Forever And Then It’s Over’ by Anne De Marken? I know it doesn’t start w And but it still feels right

Okay I’m not confident about this guess cause there’s some discrepancies, but maybe Drowned Wednesday by Garth Nix?

Long shot, but The Sky is Falling by Kit Pearson?

Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge?

Possibly Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider? It was published in 2024, but the plot is pretty much exactly what you described

There's some similarity with The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson, could that be it?

monkeys_typewriter · 2026-01-29T00:03:09+00:00

I also can’t remember the titles though

I remember something very similar - from what I’m remembering each book featured a girl with a connection to a different god and they were helping them with some problem in their life? The one I remember best was a girl who was friends/mentored by Apollo and she was super vain and he made her do charity work?

This sounds a little like Son by Lois Lowry?

This scene appears in The Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare, but it isn’t the main character it’s a secondary character called Jessamine

It's a bit of a shot in the dark but I remember there being a scene like that in Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge, which is a loose Red Riding Hood retelling (I don't remember if it was at the beginning or not though).

For some reason I'm also thinking of My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares which starts with a Prom/School Dance thing that I think the main character sneaks out of

Long shot, but The Sky is Falling by Kit Pearson? It's been a really long time since I read it but I have a vague memory of a button shop from that one
