A review by ashleys_little_library
Luster by Raven Leilani
5.0
What a debut!
5 stars for its dry humor and just all around EXCELLENT and unique writing (sometimes absurd, sometimes mundane).
5 stars for its exquisite portrayal of loneliness - all these characters are suffering from loneliness in their own way and the dynamics between them are so complex.
My overall ~enjoyment~ of this book is more of a 4 star experience, but rounding up to the 5 to appreciate the artwork it is. I cannot WAIT to see what this author does next.
