A review by sophielua
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

4.0

An entrancing exploration on the topic of identity, and the choices that guide its formation. This was deeply heartwarming and bittersweet. I found myself pining for every single character, hope rising and falling like waves, constantly aching for all those in frame. As much as this book was serious, it was also sweet, however subtly. At her best moments, Bennett stripped back all layers and shone a spotlight on vulnerability, yearning, and all the pain & beauty that comes with this.
