"The Vanishing Half: A Novel ($16, originally $27) by Brit Bennett is the latest book I've read, but it's one I had to ration out over two days; I could have read it in an afternoon, but wanted to savor all the goodness. I was utterly enthralled with the story, and it's easily the most engageing novel I've read this year. I found myself continuously saying, 'but what happens next' as I was reading, and the social commentary was powerful and poignant. I loved it." — IY
