A review by danijoy
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

3.0

By chapter 8, I could hardly put this book down! It was a compelling story with engaging characters. The characters made it gripping to keep reading to understand motives and try to guess what might happen next. However, I found the ending to be a bit unresolved and a hair disappointing. Upon further reflection too, I believe Bennett touched on a number of great themes but, unfortunately many of them were not developed to their fullest potential in this book. I enjoyed the book enough but not enough that I will be re-reading it or recommending it to everyone I know.
