Raven Leilani’s first novel reads like summer: sentences like ice that crackle or melt into a languorous drip; plot suddenly, wildly flying forward like a bike down a hill." —Jazmine Hughes, The New York Times Book Review“An irreverent intergenerational tale of race and class that’s blisteringly smart and fan-yourself sexy.” —Michelle Hart, O: The Oprah MagazineNo one wants what no one wants.And how do we even know what we want? How do we know we’re ready to take it?Edie is stumbling her way through her twenties—sharing a subpar apartment in Bushwick, clocking in and out of her admin job, making a series of inappropriate sexual choices. She is also haltingly, fitfully giving heat and air to the art that simmers inside her. And then she meets Eric, a digital archivist with a family in New Jersey, including an autopsist wife who has agreed to an open marriage—with rules.As if navigating the constantly shifting landscapes of contemporary sexual manners and racial politics weren’t hard enough, Edie finds herself unemployed and invited into Eric’s home—though not by Eric. She becomes a hesitant ally to his wife and a de facto role model to his adopted daughter. Edie may be the only Black woman young Akila knows.Irresistibly unruly and strikingly beautiful, razor-sharp and slyly comic, sexually charged and utterly absorbing, Raven Leilani’s Luster is a portrait of a young woman trying to make sense of her life—her hunger, her anger—in a tumultuous era. It is also a haunting, aching description of how hard it is to believe in your own talent, and the unexpected influences that bring us into ourselves along the way.

Book Luster: A Novel Review :

I’m with the 2 and 3-star reviews, particularly the reviewer who described the writing as “frenetic and hyper smart,” and said, “At times there were so many things coming at you, I found I had to stop and reread certain passages again to get it all. It’s both exciting and exhausting.”By 7/8 of the way through, the exhaustion overcame me and I realized I didn’t really care about any of it — the characters or the story. No emotional attachment, just some initial fun in the “hyper smart”ness.I think in the end, for me, it’s too lopsided, heavy on the side of being clever and dark and witty and observant, and too light on something that feels genuine and meaningful in a simple, unpretentious way. In the end, I just didn’t really care.
If the writer's goal was to get the reader to identify with the particulars of a 23 year old Black woman living at the edge of livability, it did not reach me. The stream of consciousness narrative style I found overloaded and meandering. I'm okay with graphic sex, but not the weird "slap me" kind. The two adults she spent the book interacting with remain undefined to me. I was glad to read it in e-book form. I had to look up the immense number of cultural references to anime, cosplay, obscure music and the names of afro-hairstyles, etc. I also had to look up, for me, a record number of words I have never seen before, despite being an avid reader and NY Times crossword buff. I forced myself to finish only to see how it ended, mainly her relationship with the couple's adopted Black daughter. When I finished I felt empty and glad it was over. But I am a senior so it is possible the age difference left me feeling stranded. Sorry.
