My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

emotional reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Strong exploration of the inner lives of the two main characters, as well as a certain kind of competitive friendship that I imagine many can relate to. Beautifully written prose.
