The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

4.0

Loved it. Such gorgeous writing. I typically don’t like narratives that jump around in time but I didn’t mind it in this book. I loved the different relationships b/w characters; some very complicated, some depicting everlasting love, some incredibly comforting friendships. I loved how this book discussed and dissected blackness/colourism and domestic abuse in such compelling and engaging ways. My only critique is that it’s a slow burn and there’s no real “plot”, but even then it was so gripping to me.
