A review by thechanelmuse
The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead

4.0

I feel conflicted. This is an unsettling story, but Whitehead's writing style isn't my taste. It feels flat and clunky at times. Nonetheless, I pushed through and there were parts of The Nickel Boys that I connected with and scenes that I can't shake out of my head. Those are the places where the writing really flowed for me. Not sure if I would give this book a 3.5 or 4. But somewhere in between.
