    SPLIT is a Phenomenal Story of Abuse and Recovery!
  

*by K***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2012*

"Fightology Lesson #8: Relax when the hits are coming because it hurts less."This book is nothing short of phenomenal! As we are introduced to our narrator, Jace Witherspoon, he is travelling from Chicago to Albuquerque---in search of shelter and sanity. Jace is one of the strongest characters I have come across in quite a long time. I don't say this because he only makes great choices and he's a natural hero. I say this because he is breathtakingly honest when it comes to his flaws. His brokenness and his vulnerabilities make him a hero to readers.Jace comes to Albuquergue to find his older brother, who fled their abusive home years before him. But Christian has made a new reality for himself. He put himself through university, has a new life and a girlfriend, and he's changed his last name to erase the past he fled. He is less than welcoming when Jace shows up at his doorstep with his face smashed in and no place to go.Christian's girlfriend, Merriam, who is also a teacher, was a wonderful calming character in the midst of the chaos. After getting over the initial shock of Jace's presence, Merriam was the mediator between Christian and Jace. Though Jace took quite a while to warm up her, he eventually liked her 'meddling' and concern.I could not believe the raw honesty of this book. I was compelled to read on and on...like one is compelled to rubberneck as they drive by the scene of an accident. Jace's honesty is so brutal; not only when he's talking to others, but also when he is internally ruminating. It's fascinating to see him come to terms with the physical abuse he fled and the heavy secrets he carried away with him. He is determined to become a new person--one who looks and acts nothing like his father--yet feels somehow stuck in the role in which he senses he belongs. This is the reason he can't quite allow himself to get close to Dakota, the girl who helps him get a new job in a bookstore in Albuquerque.With Merriam's gentle persuasions, the brothers begin to form a new kind of reality. Christian, though, is unwilling to talk about the beatings he took from his father. Christian has truly put the past behind him. In his new life, the old life just did not happen. The wall he built for himself begins to crumble, though, with Jace's arrival into his carefully crafted life.Avasthi has woven a remarkable story of physical abuse in a family setting. Not only that, she has perfected the relationship of brothers flung into this terrible reality. The guilt, the silence, the covering up and the taking on abuse for others. Everything is just so real that it splits you down the middle. It was such an emotional rollercoaster of a read. I couldn't read it fast enough. There was so much riding in the balance. The highest stakes, for this reader, was the relationship between the brothers. Such an important relationship, that of siblings. I had to find out if Christian and Jace would make it. I needed to know.I really don't want to give too much away. Buckle up, because this is a ride you have to take. It's a serious and believable ride. One that will let you see exactly what goes on behind the closed doors of a house ruled by the iron fist of an abusive parent/spouse. You have to read Split.

    Great YA book but not a YA book I feel adults would get into as much.
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 9, 2013*

This book is a story about a father who abuses his family and the two sons who are brave enough to leave. Jace is the focus of this book and at sixteen left his abusive home to go see his brother that he had not seen or heard from in years. Jace leaves his mother to take the beatings and wonders if he can start a new life after leaving her at home.This book is geared towards teens and it is a story that needs to be told even tho there are tons of books on the subject not as many geared towards teens as there probably should be. As an adult reading this book I did get bored at times but Jace never overly annoyed me so the book got 4 stars from me.Christian for me was not developed enough tho and this probably would not bother a teenager reading this or they may not even notice it at all but he just does not make sense. Where does all his money come from? He is a student and the book mentions him having to go to work once, maybe twice but not where he works or anything. He is a med student tho that is doing rounds yet he is home an awful lot. That just didn't feel right and it was never explained so I never really was able to get into his character.Overall the book was good for the target audience and I would recommend it to teens but probably not adult readers.

    intense contemporary YA
  

*by S***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 9, 2016*

Jace is thrown out of the house by his physically and emotionally abusive father, so he rooms with his older brother. It's an awkward pairing since they haven't seen each other in a while. Still a teenager, Jace is thrown into a lifestyle of near-independence. He has to find a job, earn money, and be without the guidance of parents, which isn't the worst thing. His father is crazy and his mother is trapped to the point that she might not be able to see what life could be like without the abuse. Despite the state of his mother, Jace and his brother believe that maybe she'll pull away and join them. This would all have to be done in secrecy and with finesse so that their father wouldn't be tipped off, or he might hurt her even more.This book was so intense. The father and his threats against them, particularly the mother, is spine-chilling. There's also the emotional drama of seeing Jace figure things out about himself and his family life. I highly recommend this contemporary YA.
