Luster by Raven Leilani

2.0

I picked this one up because I saw it recommended on TV or on a book list, it is NOT my typical go to type of book. While I can appreciate the style of writing and the story itself, it just wasn't for me. I had a really hard time getting through this book and really struggled with the relationships. I understand it was meant to be a strange situation and there was supposed to be high contrast in lifestyle and lived experience, but it was hard to follow and the style the story was told in did not overly appeal to me. Probably a decent book for a book club with lots of discussion, not so much for leisure reading in my opinion.
