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

This book became tedious to me after a while. I was tired of the same storyline repeating itself over and over again. Lila and Elena are stuck in a cycle that repeats and again and again. I got bored and sad. The ending is a HUGE cliffhanger and truthfully I can't believe that this story continues for another two books. At the same time, I do love Ferrante's writing and I'm quite attached to the characters at this point. I need to know what happens but I'll be taking a break before moving onto the third book.

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.
