My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante
4.25
dark reflective
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

I initially struggled to get into it, but eventually became invested. It’s not just about the girls’ relationships, but also a look at a culture and period. I’m invested enough in the story to continue with the next series book. I enjoyed listening to the audio version, especially the pronunciation of names.
