Welcome to Litsy!

This book was an exploration into identity and duality. The theme for choosing be something different and the loss and fear that comes with that made me sad and at times anxious. However, it was beautifully written and each character was beautiful and frustrating in their own way. Jude and Reese‘s story of patient love and acceptance was my favorite. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loving this book. I‘ve had a hard time getting back into reading during the pandemic... and during year 1 of mommyhood. But finally getting back into it and just love this book.

Gotta love it when a book lives up to the hype! Wow! I could not put this book down. The plot spans across decades and the country but stays compelling. The characters are endearing, relatable, and frustrating all at once.

I was not ready for it to end and so glad to read that HBO is adapting it for the small screen.

I enjoyed this book way more than I thought! Usually when there are intertwining stories, it‘s easy to get mixed up, but the author did a great job of keeping characters and timelines separated. I would definitely recommend this book, and I think our book club will have an interesting discussion about it. Super relevant right now.

Had an awesome reading month. Read 10 books! Woo-hoo 🥳 Tagged book was the best but Hazards of Time Travel and To Be Taught if Fortunate were also awesome! #decemberwrapup

Sinking into some Saturday morning reading. The Vanishing Half is up for the National Book Award. I read Brit Bennett‘s debut The Mothers which was set in Oceanside, California. She‘s an author I will continue to follow. #thevanishinghalf #britbennett

I didn't love this book. I think Bennett writes beautifully, and I was interested in the characters and how their choices and backgrounds led them to lead different lives. But it felt very slow yet we didn't fully dive into a timeline and character before jumping to a new one. I just wanted more and was so shocked when it was over because I didn't think anything happened yet. I also felt like Reese deserved more of a storyline.

I absolutely adored this book. The characters, plot and pacing are all marvelous.

Just started a few days ago and so far really enjoying it

Enjoying my #botm June pick by Brit Bennet!

I had planned to buy this book anyway today, and made sure I did so from one of the bookstores shared here: https://twitter.com/Bookshop_Org/status/1267846208237776904
