The Lying Life of Adults by Elena Ferrante
3.0
Adults are liars, indeed.
There were some beautiful moments in terms of growing older, experiencing the hypocrisy of adults in one’s life. Some more relatable than others.
But mostly, I think I didn’t love every second of this novel because I’m missing the cultural context, in addition to what might’ve been lost during the translation process.
