I selfishly hope we get to see some cute moments at the dwd premiere! I know they'll be super low key as a couple like probably no pda but still 😅 them being on the red carpet together will be 🔥maaaybe they'll hold hands?
Agree it'll be 🥵🥵 I'm sure both of them will look hot as usual! But wishful thinking on any coupley moments lol, I suspect they'll try to keep the focus off of them as a couple as much as possible 😅

I thought it was cute that harry and dua dedicated their little brit award to the nhs in their speeches
Taylor also shouted out the NHS! Most people did. I think Harry and Dua might’ve given their ones away to them though (like family doc or something) because I don’t think Harry had one specific person getting him through lockdown - he spent it with a bunch of people - and Dua didn’t really lock down now did she so she needed to be grateful for the NHS 💀💀

GoodReads Synopsis:
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect?
Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond issues of race, The Vanishing Half considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins.
My Review:
This book snatched my (hypothetical) wig off.
I enjoyed the historical context of passé blanc because I don't feel like it gets mentioned much. There was a time when it was common for French Creoles and even, Native Americans to pass as white in order to remain safe, get jobs, and overall get better treatment in the world.
I loved the dynamic between Desiree and her mother, and even her hometown. Returning home after a failed relationship all while, holding some resentment toward those who left and dropped the responsibility of being a caretaker on you without a second thought. This is a story I've seen in black households too many times.
Jude's story of her acceptance and love for her trans partner is very sweet. However, Jude and Kennedy as a collective got on my nerves.
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole book from start to finish and would 1000% recommend it.
