📚 Welcome back to Zillennials Podcast's book club! 📚
This month Zillennials Podcast is joined by Ruhika (TheBookishBurrow) to discuss The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett. The Vanishing Half is the story of Stella and Desiree, twin sisters born in a small southern town, and how their lives diverge but remain intertwined throughout the decades. Stella and Desiree leave their hometown for New Orleans, but are separated when Stella passes for white and doesn't return. Stella lives in California with her husband and daughter Kennedy, both of whom do not know about her past. Desiree returns to her hometown with her daughter Jude.
