Readers say *The Vanishing Half* is a thoughtfully crafted novel that explores race, identity, and family with emotional depth and vivid storytelling....
This book was an interesting story on how twin sisters go on to lead two different lives after running away from home. Eventually one runs away from who she is. We follow the two sisters through the years and learn how their choices affect their lives, even though they began life with all of the same advantages they end up in different places.
meaningful story, weak ending
Loved the story lines. Lots to unpack in the characters and the identity turmoil they face. But, I literally thought I missed a chapter at the end. It was so abrupt. Definitely could have tied things up better. Little disappointing.
