A review by justprerna
Luster by Raven Leilani

5.0

This book may say it’s about race and love and the struggles of ordinary, new adults, but it’s actually a book about people struggling with a lack of luster in life, chasing things they think will make them happy, and eventually realizing that maybe they were living the best life they could have at the time. This book is stressful and sad, chaotic and shouts in capitals about these characters’ loneliness. And yet it is beautiful and I am simpering mess for its beauty.
