The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
5.0
“There were many ways to be alienated from someone, few to actually belong.”
I was still halfway through the book and I already knew it was going to be a 5 out of 5 stars.
The story is about the Vignes twins that one day decide to run away together from their town, but each one find a different path for themselves.
It's not a light reading, but it's so worth it. It starts slowly, but then catches us with a force that is difficult to let go until we finish it. I had to stop reading a few times to catch breath and process what I was reading - it addresses topics as [TW/CW] racism, transphobia, sexual/domestic abuse, alzheimer, grief, among other heavy topics.
