A review by mary00
Split by Swati Avasthi

3.0

This young adult novel is a very well-written, intriguing (although harrowing) read. The depth of the characters is exceptional and the story feels realistic. So why only three stars? For one, the language. Also, the book was about a subject too graphic (physical abuse) to make it a book that I "really like", as higher star rating would indicate. Having said that, I think that Avasthi is an extremely talented writer and I am glad to have read this. I feel that I learned quite a bit about the pattern, signs, and ramifications of domestic abuse.
