Mini Book Review: The Vanishing Half

The Vanishing Half - easy and clear to see. I am blurred while holding the book.

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett : 4/5

I read this one as a buddy read with @sparetimereader @goodbookery and @life_frommydesk!! I thoroughly enjoyed our discussion. It was a perfect book for a buddy read.

Desiree and Stella are twins who run away in their teens. Each of their lives takes a different direction based on choices and circumstances. I really enjoyed this book. I did struggle with the different sections being labeled as a year but then referencing another time within that section. I found myself having to double check timeframe and a few other things.

I enjoyed learning about the different relationships, especially Reese and Jude. There were a lot of characters but they were appropriately introduced. I loved seeing how all the stories intertwined. This book is extremely well written.

Overall, I would say this one is a solid 4 star read and maybe even a little higher, 4.5?
