Luster by Raven Leilani

5.0

I'm so happy this is the first book I finished this year. Because it is a perfect book. The story? Perfect. The writing? Perfect. The narration? Perfect. The sound design? Needs attention, but I don't care because everything else about this book is perfect.

I've not read anything with a voice this authentic or a style this intentional in a very long time. Every word matters. Everything is so specific and real, which makes Rebecca's comment about Edie's lack of specificity just...well, just perfect.

Read this book. It's perfect.
