The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
3.0

I think this book is great for readers who are more plot focused. The writing is beautiful and the story is great. However, as a character focused reader I just felt very “meh”.

The story follows multiple different characters in little snapshots of their lives and to me I just felt like by switching between them I didn’t develop enough of an attachment to any of them to really care.

I had heard great things about this book as was so sure I was going to love it and I think it is really well done, just didn’t work for me sadly.
