All I can say is that I need to see how this story would be adapted for the screen 📺 (I googled that HBO is developing a series, but I need it now) I’d binge every episode!

Stella is making mad in this book yall #thevanishinghalf
This novel is beautiful. It’s sad, and it’s hopeful, and it broke my heart a few times. I love it when writers give me characters like this. They’re all so flawed and lovely - they’re such real people and I loved getting to know them. #TheVanishingHalf #BritBennett #Booksky
Hello LAX. The Vanishing Half by @britbennett.bsky.social . As a white person- this was an interesting and informative read of passing over. The pros and cons of doing so for all involved.

I’m finishing a book #TheVanishingHalf by @britbennett.bsky.social on the last day of the year. I’ not sure I’ve ever done that before! However, both the beautifully written book and and New Year somehow puts a lot of pressure on the next book🤔 Whatever shall I pick to start 2025?
I'm reading #TheVanishingHalf. Four pages in and the colorism and tragic mulatto has arrived. 😂
I'm almost done with The Vanishing Half...and I'm at the part where they're talking about Stella and who she is now...
....and I wanna punch the shit outta her because bitch it's never that deep. ever.

Will you join us for #TheVanishingHalf
Book The Vanishing Half
This is about two mixed twins, and how they got out of their hometown, but went completely separate ways. It's a multigenerational book, in the sense that you follow the twins, and then follow the twins daughters.
Highly recommend in times like these! #book #thevanishinghalf
This is so great! Lovely shoutout to contracts, production, ops and sales as well as editorial, design and comms. Nice to acknowledge ofc but ALSO readers can see there are so many #jobsinbooks. Let's have more of this. Fab book too #thevanishinghalf
