Why read it?

1 author picked The Love That Split the World as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is small town Americana at its best—and at its strangest, and most magical. It reflects on the bittersweet moments after high school in a rural Kentucky town. When our main character starts seeing strange things that aren’t really there (or are they?) and she meets a mysterious boy, her entire future may change forever.

From Isabel's list on capturing the magic of small towns.
