A review by micklesreads
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

emotional reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

I went into this knowing nothing about it, and I was completely absorbed. The book ends in the middle of a scene, and it feels like it's really just the first part of an epic. Beautiful prose, complex characters... It's wonderful.
