lylacks 's review for:

The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead

5.0

dark emotional medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

---

I originally read this in 2023 and I'm now rereading it because I plan to see the movie adaptation at the end of the month. Both reads were heartbreaking but Whitehead tells a story that needs to be heard.
