insane writing absolutely obsessed with it just upset i cant read in it the original italian! i love the representation of being 13/14/15 and discovering how the world works and discovering how you fit into it and how thats messy and gross and upsetting. i loved the story and the characters. the ending was open and yet kind of inherently cyclical like the rest of the book was. loved the bracelet as a metaphor even though idk if i could tell you exactly what the metaphor was. need to read the neapolitan quartet ASAP!!

This story focuses on the transition from childhood to adolescence. It's an abrupt shift, forceful and vulgar by nature. Some changes happen without warning—suddenly, you are found on the other side of yourself.
We follow Giovanna; she is curious and wholly observant. To her, these adults are no longer her parents, other respected adults, or peers, but people disreputable by character (if not by status or appearance). Veils fall, secrets come to the surface, and her choices reflect her growing understanding of the true fragility of beauty, sexuality, and adulthood.
