The Split is a novel that has captured the hearts of readers with its delightful blend of humor, upliftment, and irresistibly loveable characters. From the first page, readers are drawn into the lives of Ally and Jeremy, two individuals who have found solace in each other's heartbreak after a brutal break up.

Full of humor, kindness, cake, and a cat, this novel is the perfect choice for those seeking a lighthearted and uplifting read in difficult times. Ally flees to her dad's house in Sheffield with her ex's cat, who always preferred her anyway, following the break up. When she realizes that her ex is not coming to win her back or the cat, Ally takes to the sofa to mourn the future she had planned.

However, her dad calls in reinforcements in the form of Ally's old friend and first beard, Jeremy. Reunited, the two find solace in each other's heartbreak and an endless supply of baked goods. But as they indulge in their sweet treats, they concoct a plan to run a half marathon and win back their exes.

The Split is a brilliant, heart-warming, and intensely funny story of love, heartache, friendship, and family. It explores the complexities of relationships, the power of forgiveness, and the importance of staying true to oneself. With its engaging characters and witty dialogue, the novel has won praise from readers and critics alike.

One reviewer described it as a "warm, funny, comforting read with such loveable characters!" Another praised it for its "uplifting, warm, and heartfelt" portrayal of love, friendship, and family, noting that it was both funny and poignant at times.

The Split is a must-read for fans of Marian Keyes and Beth O Leary, as well as anyone who enjoys a good laugh and a heartwarming story. It is a testament to the power of friendship, love, and resilience, and will leave readers feeling uplifted and inspired.
