A review by laurab2125
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

4.0

More like 4.5 stars, I'd say. Starting it, I didn't think it would hold my interest, but many of the critics that I look up to recommend it, so I knew I'd stick with it. And -- it was wonderful. The writing style is almost sparse and bare; I'm not sure how to describe it adequately. But I'm entirely entranced by the friendship between these two girls and cannot wait to read the next in the series.
