Today, I’m back with my stop on the Bookouture Book Tour for S.E. Lynes’ latest release The Split. Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the gifted ebook in order to take part.
The end of our marriage was only the beginning…
Last night, we celebrated our anniversary. Over candlelight, we talked about the children, our work, and I was so happy, and felt so loved.
But the next morning, when I check my phone, there is a message. From a friend. And a string of photos appear of my husband, Will, with another woman: walking along the street holding hands. Going into fancy hotels. Standing at a window, his arms around her, her head on his shoulder…
I beg Will to tell me what’s going on. But all he can say is that it’s not what I think. As if the betrayal wasn’t bad enough, he won’t even be honest with me.
And now there’s someone watching our house. Will is acting like a stranger and I think he’s following me. I can’t trust him anymore, and I desperately need to know who sent me those photos and why.
But maybe Will is telling the truth.
Maybe it’s not what I think.
Because the more our pain stops us talking, and the more the two of us tear each other apart, the more I wonder if I ever knew him at all – and what I’ll have to risk to protect my children.
And when at last the secrets are revealed, will the truth save our family, or destroy us all?
A thrilling, gripping page-turner about a marriage falling apart and the darkness love can contain. Readers who love Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware and Shari Lapena will be hooked by The Split.
My Review
S.E. Lynes has been one of my ‘must-read’ authors for years now. Her psychological thrillers always tick every box for me. I was looking forward to reading The Split, so as soon as I got a copy, I had to read it straightaway.
Told from the perspectives of Jessica and Will, a couple with two young children. After seven years of marriage, Jessica has evidence that Will has been seeing another woman. Although Will tells her it isn’t what it seems, she makes him leave. As the vortex that has become their lives keeps spinning out of control, the worse the situation gets. Is there more going on than they both realise?
I do feel this is one of the author’s best thrillers. I really thought I had this one in the bag. The majority of the way through, I was confident I knew it all! I should have known better. I was taken on such a tense, twisty journey with these characters. They are so well created that I felt their emotions so much as I raced my way through the book.
A story crammed with secrets, twists, and plenty of manipulation to boot. Then, to top everything off, the conclusion blew me away, too! It is an excellent psychological thriller from an author who I recommend to everyone.
