The Story of a New Name by Elena Ferrante

4.0

I had a hard time making it through the first book in the series, but its twist ending really intrigued me. This book, the second in the series, was much more engaging, perhaps because the main characters were older and more relatable. I really appreciate the way that the author depicts the complexity of relationships with one's friends. Looking forward to reading book 3.
