Split

I randomly picked this up off my pile. And couldn't put it down. What a great book about domestic violence and the aftermath on the kids. Split by Swati Avashti, is about Jace and his brother Christian who have survived their abusive father, a judge.  Jace's mother puts him in the car and gives him his brother's address and sends him on his way. Christian had left years before and hidden from his father. Jace lands on his doorstep and Christian doesn't know what to do. He lets Jace stay for "a while" and they try and figure out a way to get along. Jace has a secret he doesn't want anyone to know and this comes between the brothers. There is some romance, some action and some serious issues as the boys hope to get their mother to leave and be free of their abusive father. This was a great story and such a fast read. Give it a try.
