the second book of my brilliant friend and it is even better wth?? i am always saying, "ooh i wanna read a book so all-consuming it'd occupy every space in my brain..." and here it fxxking is!! ugh omg elena ferrante put a crack on this series coz i couldn't put it down. i haven't even opened another book to read with it at the same time. the themes, the drama and the characters. this story just lit me on fire— it made me livid, stressed the hell out of me, and excavated something in my heart that words cannot describe. i just want them to have a good life plsss hahaha i cannot wait for the next book
