THE SPLIT

KIT FRICK

The Split by talented and prodigious author Kit Frick once again never fails to disappoint. This time out, we are treated to an engrossing story of two sisters, Jane, the sister you wish you had, and Esme, the person you want to be. The Split is reminiscent of the movie Sliding Doors, where one decision leads to a set of ramifications, and another reveals an entirely different scenario. Esme is in Midtown Manhattan when she calls her sister for a ride home. Jane is pulled toward picking up her sister due to guilt about an ambiguous accident that occurred some time ago. Each chapter reveals different consequences to the decisions that Jane, the good sister, makes as she struggles with her past guilt and demons while feeling emotionally blackmailed by Esme, the sister you might have wished to become had your life turned onto a different path.
