The Vanishing Half  by Brit Bennett

I loved this novel! The Vanishing Half follows the lives of Black identical twin sisters who run away from their small Louisiana town when they turn 16.  

As adults, they both choose different paths and their lives separate. The multilayered plot follows the twins living very different lives as their past histories and present decisions shape their futures, families and identities.  

And guess what? The book has been picked up by HBO for a limited series adaptation! I can’t wait to see it, but I encourage you to read the book first.



We’re thinking about: themes of identity, family, relationships, race and hard decisions.
