[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just finished "The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett yesterday.
It is about twin sisters who are light colored black women.  One chooses to live her life as a white woman and one chooses to live her life as a black woman.  They go their separate ways as young adults and lose touch with each other.
I liked it, but I kept hoping there would be more of a "happily ever after" ending.  The book had a good flow even though it jumped around in time between the 1950's and the 1990's.  
I listened to it on audio.  It was 11 1/2 hours long. [/quote]

I read this a couple years ago and liked it. Certain aspects of it really stuck with me, especially the stuff from the sister who passes as white, and what it means for her to conceal this aspect of her identify from her family, neighbors, etc. I don't even remember how it ended, though, so I guess that's telling.[/quote]

I am the person who just finished reading the Vanishing Half.  I am so tempted to post a quick little "here's how it ended" summary.  But I guess that would be wrong, since that would spoil the story for anyone who has not read it yet.   :( [/quote]
