The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! This is one of those books that will stay with me for a long time. Two sisters – twins – run away from home to see more of the world and escape their narrow small town. One twin decides to start passing as white and the other continues to live as a black woman. Years later, their daughters meet and we learn how life has treated them as they live in each race.

This book made me think, made me cry and made me laugh. I highly recommend this one!

  • This was my first book from Book of the Month – a subscription service that sends a book {or two or three} to your house each month. I’m loving this service so much! Your first book is $9.99 and the book is a hardback, great quality book. Each month, I select my favorite from 5 curated choices for $14.99 and any additional books are $9.99 – free shipping! If I want to skip a month, that’s totally fine. If you enjoy having a book in your hands to read, I definitely recommend checking out Book of the Month. {Disclaimer: I do earn credits if you sign up using my affiliate link.}

Kylie is a spoiled brat. She’s always gotten whatever she wants when she wants it and expects everyone around her to bow to her wishes. And then her father disappears and the FBI takes possession of their mansion and expensive toys. Kylie discovers who and what is most important in life.

I enjoyed this YA novel but parents, be warned there is some bad language and definite adult themes {drinking and suggestive scenes.}

Finally! I’ve looked forward to this book for so long. And it didn’t disappoint! I loved reading Twilight from Edward’s point of view. I did read Twilight again just before reading Midnight Sun and I think that helped refresh my memory a lot. We get to experience Bella and Edward meeting and falling in love from his point of view. We also learn some new information about his world and events that happen – before we only saw what happens to Bella. If you were a Twilight fan I definitely recommend this book! Enjoy!
