The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

3/5
Race, Identity, Sisterhood
“Why can’t you just be yourself?” Stella asked once.
“Maybe I don’t know who that is,” her daughter shot back. And Stella understood, she did. That was the thrill of youth, the idea that you could be anyone. That was what had captured her in the charm shop, all those years ago”
Notes: Kind of disappointing despite the multiple perspective narrative, it struggled to keep my interest in either it's tonality or structure.
