Todos los personajes que aparecen en el libro son adorables, desde el gato secuestrado 😂 hasta los amigos y la familia de Ally. I am always, on some level, looking for an adult contemporary novel with a sapphic main character which I enjoy. This may not sound that hard and/or specific, but given the number of them I have experienced complete and utter boredom over in the past couple of years, it becomes so.

It is also actually fantastic timing because, while the review was written, I didn’t have an introduction because I had no earthly clue as to how I was going to start. This gave me a place to do so. It also gives me another point of reference for you. If I blow up the above picture? I present exhibit A, circled. I was so entrenched in The Split that I failed to provide the proper amount of attention to the head of the CNMCC, Pavel. To which he then felt it right and necessary to take his spite out on the corner of the book, by attempting to chew on it. Shameful behavior.

You know something has broke me in the best of ways or I’m about to go salty when I give you the summary of a book because I NEVER give the summary of a book. Here is the summary of The Split by Sharon Bolton: Lo dicho: es verdad que ha sido una historia ligera, de esas que se leen prácticamente solas, entretenida y que no te hace pensar demasiado, así que, en ese sentido, ninguna sorpresa con la historia: una relación entre dos mujeres que, con el tiempo, o más bien por culpa de una de las dos, termina, y cómo una de ellas intenta huir al mismo tiempo que quiere reconquistar a la otra. The remote Antarctic island of South Georgia is about to send off its last boat of the summer – which signifies safety to resident glaciologist Felicity Lloyd. Joe is involved in two difficult relationships with women, Felicity and his mother, Delilah. How well does he manage the two, and do you see them as damaging or affirming?Joe’s mother, Delilah, is a police woman and has been following her son’s cases closely. Their relationship sometimes seems a little too close to be healthy, but for the most part they seem to be able to run through ideas together helping Joe and the police. I loved this book to begin with. The narration is hilarious, and while Ally's life was a Mess (tm), I was excited to join her on her journey of finding her own-self worth. I also immediately connected with the side characters, particularly Ally's long-suffering dad, Graham. Malcolm the cat was also of course a highlight. My suggestion to you? Take all the notes you want. Have fun. But don’t even try. Just enjoy the ride. Because what a mighty fun ride it is. Oh yes, the meat of the thing is a generous joint, rich, juicy and marbled with possibility. The interplay of family and office politics, the shifting perspectives on marriage from people at different stages of loving and being left, the ramifications of abandonment and failure, the fragility of family, all of it refracted – still so rare! Still such potential! – through a primarily female lens is a meal by itself. But as my grandmother used to say with a sigh of satisfaction after Sunday lunch: The meat was good, but oh! The gravy! The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars was simply because some of the choices made by the main character felt unnecessary and I didn’t see why they made those decisions from a reader’s perspective but regardless please go and read this.

The character of Kevin had been in one of the early drafts of Shyamalan's Unbreakable, but he had pulled the character out, stating there were balancing issues at that time. With Split, he brought in some of the scenes he had written for Unbreakable around Kevin. [8] The film ends with the appearance of Bruce Willis's character, David Dunn, from Unbreakable, who makes a comment in reference to the previous film, placing Unbreakable and Split within the same narrative universe. Shyamalan requested permission to incorporate the character from Walt Disney Studios, which had produced Unbreakable. [9] Shyamalan met with Sean Bailey about the use of the character; they came to a gentlemen's agreement where Bailey agreed to allow the use of the character in the film without a fee and Shyamalan promised that Disney would be involved in a sequel if developed. [9] Shyamalan was very secretive of Willis' involvement in Split, removing the final scene from the film for test audiences. The cameo was shown at the 2016 Fantastic Fest and 2016 AFI Fest months before its theatrical release. [8]D'Alessandro, Anthony (January 29, 2017).

We weren’t even playing the same game. Hell, Bolton was playing a different sport that I didn’t even know existed. If I’m being perfectly honest? She was playing multiple sports, simultaneously, while I was celebrating a win that never existed.
