brennacrosby 's review for:

My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante
4.0

One sentence synopsis... The obsessions and rivalries of two friends growing up in post-war Naples as they mature from violent, underprivileged children to competitive adolescents. .

Read it if you liked... Little Women or other immersive epics of female relationships gleaned from the most destitute of circumstances. .

Dream casting... HBO already did a great job casting it. No notes.
