Suzanne Finnamore

Don't let the cover fool you -- this isn't stupid chick lit. The protagonist is insightful, bitingly honest, and realistic. Every four or five pages I came across a sentence that was so well put I wanted to jot it down.

If you have ever been in a relationship & that person is leaving said realtionship--then just breathe; your world will turn upside down.. You are now walking around on auto-pilot, your mind is set on repeat and it won't turn off as it endlessly spins scenarios and questions. You are catatonically stunned by disbelief because he is out the door, gone.
How Mr Wonderful left the scene or pretended not to really leave, he left & life will suck. Read this book and gift it to your friends. Suzanne show more Finnamore’s wit is again laugh out loud and factual. I loved her book "Otherwise Engaged"; which I clearly recall even ten years later—I felt invested in this relationship and I'm truly surprised and a bit sad to read the turn of events in "Split". Soldier on, this is a must read for anyone who has had a relationship break-up or divorce. show less

Really well-written and haunting.

The end is a little terrifying - so maybe be cautious about getting this as a gift for pregnant women. But she is a lovely author. The title of this book made me pull it off the library shelf, and I'm glad I did.
