The Coin

4.2

This book is very lucky it was the first of the “older, rich, (though, for once not white. It's hard to read about them complaining when they're wealthy) woman living in New York, and has SOME form of mental illness/ decay” is the first I've read in a while...and the fact that it's more interesting because the MC isn't white?? Okay yeah, this ate. I was on hold for like 4 (6?) months at the library, and I'd say it was worth the wait! I usually don't like when books use obvious, obnoxious symbolism (“white police offer greets the black woman police officer; and they hug” the quote goes something like that) but I think Zaher does it well and in a much more interesting way. Also very good writing.
