The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

3.0

The premise: small town twins run away. One leaves sister to live a “white life” and forgets about what she left behind. The other sister moves back to small town years later with her dark child in tow. The small town, btw? It’s a town of “light black people”. The years to by and lives intersect and intertwine.

An interesting tale of love: love for self, love for family, love that’s lost and forgotten, love that stands the test of time, love that’s forgiving and love that does not judge, but isn’t blind.

This could’ve been a Hallmark film, but with a slight Netflix twist.
