While some of Giovanna's experiences won't resonate with everyone, I remembered so much of my own teenage years as I was reading — so much of that emotion rang true to me. I was really taken in by Ferrante's insightful exploration of Giovanna's character, and the writing style is wonderfully readable, while preserving its poetry and a certain, simmering rage underneath that really resonated with me.
