The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry

I won’t be discussing any of these in-depth, but they are present in the book. Right off the bat, cw for abusive relationships, rape, and alcoholism. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right. 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 preschool where the garden store should be. I’ve tried to write a summary for this story several times, but I just can’t quite seem to get it right, so I’ll copy Goodreads’ here: 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.

And I’m glad I did! Also look how beutiful that cover is AHHH. I think I had read one or two good reviews, and then I saw it on sale for the kindle so I took my chance. I picked up The Love That Split the Worldon a whim.
