A review by sara_ramelb
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

emotional funny tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

A powerful retelling that reminded me of what it was to be a young girl with a brilliant friend, somehow still ringing true across an ocean and a century.
