The Vanishing Half: A GMA Book Club Pick (A Novel)
"The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett is one of the most talked about books of the year -- a stunning page-turner about twin sisters, inseparable as children, who ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds: one black, and one white. It’s a powerful story about family, compassion, identity and roots.

I really tried to enjoy this book at it dragged on and on. It was very thought provoking but there’s no plot, it just ends. I know there’s depth behind Stella choosing to change her identity but we don’t actually get much if it. I wanted a job, they thought I was white and I got the job. I like this man who thinks I’m white. Well now I guess I’ll be white and lie to everyone and say very racist things and gaslight the hell out of my own daughter her entire life.
I can feel the potential, but it fell flat for me. 🤷🏼♀️Book #4 in 2025
I liked this book. It was easy to read and had great characters. It was sometimes emotional as I read about the family's issues through the years. I can see why GMA picked for a Book Club read.
Just finished The Vanishing Half by Britt Bennett. Great book. Started slow and has very difficult subjects: racial mistreatment and domestic violence. Once the book gets cranking up, I could not put it down. The obvious story of the lost twin passing as white is just the tip of the iceberg. Loved the stories of how each character finally finds themselves through their struggles and choices. How life shapes each person to make them who they are.
