My Brilliant Friend is a book that represents everything I love about reading. It tells a story of one little part of Naples and the people who live there. The beauty of the book is that everyone is as grey as a real person is, with all the little things that make us good and bad. It's about friendship, envy, love and mostly about the desire to be different then the previous generation. If you enjoy character driven books, this is a must read. I honestly can't wait to read the next book in the series 💛
