The Mothers by Brit Bennett

3.0

This didn't quite reach the heights that The Vanishing Half did, nonetheless, it's a compelling and engaging novel following the messy intersections of friendship, love, secrets and betrayal. The characters are very well drawn and I was intrigued enough to keep turning the page. The writing too is fluid and reads easily while still being lyrical. At the end of it, I found the reading experience enjoyable enough but not really as memorable as I'd hoped for.
