dark
tense
fast-paced
4.25
Kit Frick’s outstanding adult thriller debut released this week!
🚗
Jane Connor aka the plain Jane of her family, has a decision to make: pick up her sister in Manhattan during a thunderstorm when driving gives her terrible anxiety due to a car accident she was in as a teen or tell Esme to find her own ride home. What happens next is Jane’s life splits in two: the choice she made when she A) picks up her sister and B) refuses. We get to see the history of the two women’s relationships, their family dynamic and past relationships of Jane’s until it all comes crashing to two endings that couldn’t be more different from one another.
☔️
I love a good Sliding Doors trope so this was right up my alley. Every time I thought the story was going to go one way, I’d get whiplash as it switched in another direction. I’m so thrilled for Kit, as this was such an amazing adult debut and I WANT MORE! The Split released this week: congrats!
CW: car accident, alcoholism, drug overdose, hospitalization, Alzheimer’s, death, drunk driving, cheating, abuse, kidnapping, prison
