The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
5.0
First, let me just say that I loved this author's previous work, The Underground Railroad. I was so lost in that world that I briefly forgot there was never actually a literal railroad under the ground. He is THAT good.
This book, I felt, was even better. Inspired by the Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, FL (I was just reading a news article about this school recently), Whitehead brings an incredible cast to life to tell a dark story - but he shoots that story through with strands of hope that will carry you through.
This will be a top read of 2019 for me, no question. It hits shelves in July, so put it on your list NOW.
Big thank you's go out to Doubleday Books and NetGalley for this early review copy.
