I found it a bit repetitive at points, but it was quite interesting and definitely covers a variety of topics. The writing is very engaging.

I don't get the hype at all. I feel like everyone's reading a different book because this is just tedious. Ferrante's prose is good but i just don't care about the characters and feel utterly bored reading about them
