I enjoyed this one quite more than the first one, maybe It's cause I'm already invested on the characters or maybe it was the pacing. Once again we submerged ourselves into Lenu and Lina's world of violence, poverty and money (a central theme on this one specially), friendship and the hardships of being female. Nino Sarratore is exactly the kind of man I hate (pretends to be the good stuff and it's actually the worst of all) and the ending gave me chills, just when I thought Lenu was out of reach. At some points of the story I hated Lina with passion, I think it's just what the author intended since it's supposed to be Lenu's narrative and her feelings strongly bleed into the writing, and I actually loved that. All in all I'm excited to keep the series and see what we get ourselves into on the next one, now that both Elena and Lila seem to have escaped the neighborhood up to some point.

This series of books draws you in like nothing else I have ever read and moves you in such an intense way. Some of the best books I have read in a really long time, I have a never ending love for the Neapolitan novels.

culown's review against another edition

dark reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

È davvero difficile dare un giudizio coerente a questo romanzo. 
Come nel primo dell'amica geniale la scrittura è fenomenale e coinvolgente, però non posso dire di aver apprezzato il libro. Devastante e deprimente non vedevo l'ora di finirlo ://
Controllare assolutamente i content warnings. 

Lo stupro iniziale imposta il tono di tutto il libro, veramente triste
