reb_knits 's review for:

The Lying Life of Adults by Elena Ferrante
3.75
reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Well-written but boring as hell - would have been better if the characters were likeable but then the story would have no purpose

And what a stupid (albeit realistically anticlimactic) way to end the book
