Luster

A taut, sharp, funny book about being young now. It's brutal―and brilliant. - Zadie Smith, author of Swing Time

‘Darkly funny with wicked insight . . . This keenly observed, dynamic debut is so cutting, it almost stings.’ Elle

‘Remarkable, the most delicious novel I’ve read.’ – Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie

Hilarious, honest, bursting with desire and cutting insight, Luster is absolutely captivating. I didn’t so much read it, as gulp it down. There’s so much to learn here, so much to admire. Leilani is an irreverent, impeccable stylist―a voice we need right now. -- Justin Torres, author of We the Animals
