A review by hannahbrostrom
The Nix by Nathan Hill

5.0

Beautiful and American are not strung together nearly as often recently as they were some decades ago. But on account of this book, these two words are it's best descriptors. This novel has this fascinating quality to it that is almost infuriating in it's perfection. It's story is so wonderful, so gripping, so raw and real and gorgeous that I was caught in this terrible ultimatum of not being able to put it down but having to tear myself away from it in order to make it last as long as humanly possible. This is well written in a way that is seperate from the way one would picture "well written", with lengthy descriptions that did not ever become boring despite this length, because they were so relatable and humourous and accurate. There is nothing in this book that did not work for me. Truly a work of art.
