Luster

This novel is sharp and smart, observant and funny and thoroughly enjoyable. I had heard great things about the book and was immediately taken with how honest the narrator was. And it kept getting deeper and smarter. The social commentary was honest without overtaking the story.

My only criticism is that despite the introspection of the narrator, she gets herself into a situation that deserves a little more reflection than I think it was given.

It may only be January, but I think the chances of my reading a better book this year are slim.
