A review by dreamofbookspines
The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Horrifying events conveyed with achingly beautiful prose. This is the first book by this author I've read and I doubt it'll be the last. I came into this with prior knowledge of reformatory academies like Nickel so it wasn't a total shock, but if you're coming in blind, prepare yourself. Maybe use a more lighthearted book as a chaser.
