In The Love That Split the World, did you enjoy ...

... the reality-bending, timeline-crossed romance?

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

If you were swept up by Natalie and Beau meeting across impossible cracks in reality—and Granny’s warning that Natalie had “three months to save him”—you’ll love how Henry and Clare fight for each other while time keeps pulling them apart in The Time Traveler’s Wife. Like the late-night football-field encounters and those shimmering overlaps of worlds in The Love That Split the World, this novel leans into the aching question: how do you hold on to love when time won’t hold still?

... the senior-summer self-discovery in a small town tinged with the uncanny?

Bone Gap by Laura Ruby

If you connected with Natalie choosing who she’ll be beyond her Kentucky town—guided by strange visions and stories only she seems to understand—Bone Gap offers that same intimate, coming-of-age pulse. In a rural town where reality puckers at the edges, Finn must see past surfaces to find Roza, much like how Natalie learns to trust what she sees when the world flickers. It’s lyrical, small-scale, and intensely personal—about identity, perception, and the courage to step through the door no one else believes is there.

... the star-crossed, heart-forward love story with a touch of the inexplicable?

Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon

If the romance between Natalie and Beau—two people magnetized together despite rules the universe seems to be writing against them—made your heart clench, Instructions for Dancing will hit the same nerve. After a mysterious encounter, Evie starts seeing how relationships end the moment she watches couples kiss, yet she still falls for X. It echoes the way Natalie risks everything after Granny’s warning, choosing love in spite of the visions that say it might break her.

... the folklore-laced guidance and prophetic stories steering fate?

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

If Granny’s tales and prophecies—those myth-soaked nudges that send Natalie toward Beau—were your favorite threads, The Raven Boys offers an addictive blend of fate, folklore, and found love. Blue Sargent grows up among psychics who warn her about the boy she’ll kill if she kisses him, even as a quest for a sleeping king tangles her future with the Raven Boys. Like Natalie, Blue must decide how much power to give the stories that shape her destiny.

... the close-up focus on one girl, one town, and the day that keeps changing everything?

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

If you loved how The Love That Split the World keeps the lens tight on Natalie—her friendships, her small town, those charged meetings with Beau—Before I Fall delivers that same intimate scope with a speculative twist. Samantha relives a single day over and over, peeling back layers of her life and relationships the way Natalie keeps testing the seams of her reality. It’s about the small choices that alter everything, and the courage to make the right ones when time gives you one more chance.
