It’s The Stacks Book Club Day, and we’re diving into Luster by Raven Leilani with returning guest Justine Kay of 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose.

In today’s episode, we dive into the shifting power dynamics in the story, the relationship between Edie and Akilah, and share our favorite scenes from this critically acclaimed debut.
There are spoilers on today's episode.
