Split-Level by Sande Boritz Berger
2.0
I really wanted to enjoy Split-Level. It seems like it would have been a book right up my alley. It's a completely different lifestyle than my own. It's seemingly filled with juicy drama that I'd devour. However, it just didn't work for me.
There's numerous flaws. The book is so slow. Like, slow. I don't mind a slow-building story, but this was just disappointing. On top of that, it wasn't very detailed. I missed so much of the depth (emotion, details, conversations, etc.) that makes a book like this appealing to me. And to top it all off, these characters were just bland. I couldn't bring myself to care about any of them.
I think there was potential here. The premise was interesting. The writing was decently done. If it had been more than a surface level, beachy type read, I think I would have really enjoyed it.
