The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry

3.0

I’m not sure how I feel about this to be perfectly honest. I thought the writing was really good and the idea was great but I couldn’t figure out what it was going for. It wasn’t really contemporary, but not enough fantasy to be fantasy, not enough romance to be romance. It’s like it was trying to be everything but ended up not fitting in anywhere? The fantasy elements were too much to be magical realism as well. I struggled to connect with Natalie and all the characters. I didn’t think their relationships were enough of a driving force. Emily Henry’s writing still shines through and it’s nice seeing how much she’s grown as a writer.
