The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
4.0
Excellent. Extremely well done exploration of identity and self, so captivating.
Only gripe was the narrator: hard-g pronunciations of all ING words was super distracting (eg "singing"="sin-Ging"; "hanging on"="han-Ging gone") and positively horrendous attempts at Brooklyn and Boston accents that ended up sounding identical and no where near reality and were used enough throughout that everytime that character came in I would groan. So I would recommend reading on the page over audio.
