gemofbooks 's review for:

The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
4.0

Heartbreaking, thought provoking - a punch in the guts. As a white person, I felt physically sick for much of this book.
For all of the horrific events that happened in this book, I was also awed by the strength and fortitude that was shown by the characters - a reflection of what many people of colour still have to manifest today.
