The Split by Sharon Bolton
4.0
3.5 Stars
Overview: Okay so this book has been on my shelf for over a year. I just didn't pick it up for ages...and then I read a review with a spoiler. And it made me go "ooh!" So I picked it up and read it, but thanks to the spoiler I knew the main twist right from the start which diminished the excitement for me. Granted, there was a surprise at the end, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to save it. I blame the person who wrote a review with a spoiler and didn't put up a warning first!
Good Points: I did enjoy the writing style. It was different to what I'm used to so it did take me a while to adjust. The first 1/4 of the book was probably the best bit.
Not so Good Points: I wish I could review this book without having known the spoiler. It really ruined it for me. So I shouldn't really say anything negative because it's not the books' fault! There were a few things about Felicity I didn't like, but I can't go into detail without spoiling it (and I won't do that!) The character's weren't really that memorable either.
A decent psychological thriller that's worth a read. However it didn't blow me away.
