The Story of a New Name by Elena Ferrante

5.0

Not as good as the first novel because of some lengthy bits but still captivating! I found Lenù extremely annoying at certain points, it's like: when is this girl ever going to liberate herself from Lila's unhealthy grasp on her? Isn't it time she gets over it? I loved the Ischia part of the book best, it was gripping and something out of a teen dream vacation. The cliffhanger at the end totally got me, of course, and I will be reading book three right away.
