The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

3.0

An enjoyable book that pulled together the lives of twins who ended up leaving very separate lives and how their daughters, unknowingly connected, and helped pull the sisters back together. The interesting component is how important it is to live our true authentic self. One sister lived an entire life as a lie, and it permeated all aspects of her life and the relationships she had or could not have. Ultimately I was disappointed by this story as it had the potential to create a larger social or moral story, but the ending fell flat.
