Mini-Review:

I bought this because so many people were raving about it. They were not wrong. This book is intense, heart breaking, sad, and hopeful. I actually love the brilliance of this title. Is the vanishing half: the vanishing half of twins, half of herself, or both?!?! I really did like all the different POV’s in this book but it was a really slow start. The paragraphs kind of jump around and it’s a big disjointed at times and made it for a slower read. There’s a lot in this book and I wish some things would have been flushed out a bit more. Overall, I really enjoyed it and it was thought provoking.
