A review by isalim
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

4.0

I think that I start novels now expecting a clean, constrained three act story. This novel absolutely is not that, but a sprawling chronicle of a friendship written in such a way where you’re drawn in not in the shoes of Lenù but as a friend listening to her recount the story of her adolescence. Also the ending is incredible left me open jawed and teary eyed.
