Natalie Cleary must risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to build a new world with the boy she loves.
Natalie’s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start... until she starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right.
That’s when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls “Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s as if time just stops and nothing exists. Nothing, except Natalie and Beau.
Emily Henry’s stunning debut novel is Friday Night Lights meets The Time Traveler’s Wife, and perfectly captures those bittersweet months after high school, when we dream not only of the future, but of all the roads and paths we’ve left untaken.
The very first chapter of The Love That Split The World started off very ominous. An 18 yr old girl, Natalie, talking to Grandmother who no one else can see but Natalie. Grandmother, for as long as Natalie can remember, has always told her stories. Stories about the future or stories about the Native American World. But the last time Grandmother visits she tells Natalie "you have three months to save him." Save who? Who is him. What? That was the thoughts racing through my head the whole time I was reading this book and of course I was thinking where on earth did grandma go.
Natalie has a lot and I mean a lot to figure out about herself and the person she has to save. What stood out in this book is that we can all relate to seeing where we belong in this world and Natalie was lost as we all are when it's our last year of high school. Then add in the fact that she can visit another reality makes it even more harder on her. But Natalie pulled through and got the answers she was looking for even if it took her awhile to realize the truth.
The Native American stories that Grandmother use to tell Natalie were probably my favorite, they were intriguing and just mesmerizing and I kind of want an enovella just on those stories told.
Another thing I liked was how Emily Henry captured two different worlds with such ease. One minute we're in Natalie's world and then another second we're in an alternate reality and I just live for stuff like that =)
The Love That Split The World is whirlwind of mystery that will keep you turning the page until there's nothing left. Emily Henry has wrote a unique story and I can't wait for more of this authors work.
