Luster

I too felt like 12 gerbils in a skin suit in my 20s, and am definitely glad they're over! This is getting compared to an American version of Queenie (unfavorably to Luster, I think) but other than they're both about a Black woman in her 20s figuring out work and relationships they're not similar at all in tone, writing style, or really even content. The remove/cold observation of the style wasn't really for me. I finished the book to see it through, and liked some of the writing, but the audiobook was just ok.
