Luster a novel by Raven Leilani.  A Black woman in her 20s falls for a white man in his 40s who has an open marriage, and ends up living with the white couple and their adopted Black daughter.  "Despite all the depressing stuff here, Luster is brilliant ... isn't preachy ... a hilarious and kinky story about what it's like to be young right now."   Jan. 2020

We first discuss the selection; not everyone has finished or even read it - some listen to decide if they want to read it.  We then share recent favorites, and find books for our reading list.  We alternate fiction and nonfiction and vote twice a year.
