A review by pandagourgh
The Lying Life of Adults by Elena Ferrante
3.0
After reading the Neapolitan Novels, reading this is a bit like visiting an old friend, but then feeling a bit disappointed afterwards because your friend was not as fun as you remember.
I feel for the main character in this story, I like an awkward and complicates female lead, however, it feels like the story doesn’f really evolve. The lesbian relationship with her friend is really interesting, but ends up pretty much ignored. The ending also feels quite abrubt. But the language and environments that Ferrante describes remain as beautiful as in the quadrilogy.
