culown's review against another edition

dark reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

È davvero difficile dare un giudizio coerente a questo romanzo. 
Come nel primo dell'amica geniale la scrittura è fenomenale e coinvolgente, però non posso dire di aver apprezzato il libro. Devastante e deprimente non vedevo l'ora di finirlo ://
Controllare assolutamente i content warnings. 

Lo stupro iniziale imposta il tono di tutto il libro, veramente triste

emotional reflective medium-paced

5.0

I was unsure if this would live up to My Brilliant Friend, but it completely topped it. Ferrante’s writing draws the reader in so gracefully. This novel begins as a slow burn but before you notice you’re completely hooked. Her storylines are complex and raw, underscored by her ability to highlight the thoughts hidden in corners of your brain. I can’t wait to read the next.

I loved this book but find most of the characters so annoying
The style is so good
The imposter syndrome is real
Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
