A review by liblibby
Luster by Raven Leilani
Did not finish book.
3.0
**Did not finish**
I simply do not have a taste for grotesque literature. I wish I did but as a person predisposed to depression, I just can not spend hours of my life ruminating on a person who is circling the drain of her own undoing.
That being said, Lelani can turn the hell out of a phrase. She has a masterful grasp of language and would occasionally leave me breathless with her descriptions. That’s why I can’t give it a 1 or 2 star review. Because even though this book isn’t my taste, it doesn’t mean that it didn’t make me feel things.
