it’s EVERYTHING to me!!! lenù and lila are both such beautiful, complex characters who I care so deeply for 🥺 the novels are obvious masterpieces and I think the series really lives up to them, especially the cast- I think they’re just perfect. I remember when I watched season one, I had been a few weeks behind and sat down to watch the first 3 or 4 episodes in one sitting and I cried at like every other scene... just something about it... from the story to the characters to the dialogue to the music, everything just kept getting to me!! I seriously recommend it to everyone I can because it deserves all the love it can possibly get! 💛 what a perfect story that covers such a range of topics and dynamics yet still blends them all together in a way that feels so real... but most of all...FUCK nino sarratore!!!!!

notos by the oh hellos is my fave song actually !

fair warning that i've only been using spotify for like, 3 months, so it's not necessarily representative of my year but. yeah it's still pretty representative of my taste sjdbekenek

One of the main reasons why I like this book so much is because Lila and Lenù’s friendship feels real; the loyalty between them has always some sense of rivalry, as both of them want to be better than the other and achieve more success in their respective areas. This kind of friendship-rivalry (or what we nowadays call “frenemies”), has, unfortunately, been very common between women for many years. Women were told they could not be friends, but they had to compete with each other for a better job, a better husband, a better house… The novel reflects these contradictory emotions perfectly and the reader understands the characters’ reasons to behave that way. I have already read the first two books and I can’t wait to read the third one. This saga is brilliant indeed.
