My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

4.0

This was a great book to get into a different world. Another country, another socio-economic group. It is also interesting because of the unusual friendship- full of competition, intense loyalty, and even undermining each that makes the story come so alive. I love that the author's true identity is unknown, even though she is very popular in Italy. It can be very intense at times, but I look forward to reading more in the series.
