If you like great gritty and realistic fiction, get your hands on a copy of Split by 2010 debut author Swati Avasthi.
This YA novel tells the story Jace Witherspoon, who flees an abusive father to try and start a new life with the older brother who escaped years before. But for Jace escaping from his past will take more than a long road trip and some new friends.
Split has some scenes that had my heart racing, including a few where I was so worried about what would happen that I wanted to do what I do while watching a horror movie – close my eyes. Problem is, it’s hard to read with your eyes closed. Thankfully, I was brave and kept my eyes open and was able to enjoy of Swati’s novel.
For fans of realistic fiction, I highly recommend Split.
