i believe i've reached the ragebait section of this book

nino’s romantic interest in lenù beginning and ending with her totally delusional glorification of him and his writing……😭😭 oh baby we have to get you out of there

2 year difference between book 1 and 2 but the writing in this one seems so much stronger + more vivid ???? i’m not making it out of this alive

seeing the character index at the beginning of this book basically double in size....oh, we're really in it now.

"your heart is agitated, your veins inflamed" and it's just ELENA SEEING LILA NAKED FOR THE FIRST TIME?!@#>?!@#?12 gay ass friendship my god

donato sarratore, KYS.

if i know anything about foreshadowing, about 2 books down the line, nino and lila are gonna betray lenù, solidifying the cyclical nature of father-son trauma.............

this romance subplot that i know heather fawcett is probably gonna drag out for 2-3 more books is actually working on me...

lila pulling a knife on a boy and hitting a "don't touch her," for lenù ..... OH, WE'RE HITTING ITALIAN YURI TERRITORY NOW.

the amount of italian names in this 😫

holy summary

xue meng is rlly climbing in the little meow meow ranks

just reached the edna o'brien short story and feel like i've discovered sally rooney's blueprints

i’m having a blast

this is so good.....what are the italians putting in their novels

i can't believe i've never read grace paley before omg......i love her

virtually every woman on this wedding trip being attracted to conor—i KNOW you’re fucking lying omggggngmdmf 😭😭😭

genuinely in shock at how horribly corny this book is omg i feel like i’m back on 2012-era wattpad

conor having not one, but TWO exes present at the 13-person destination wedding? oh, i’m sure #whore

having a genuine chuckle at the thought of a 22-year-old girl being “””best friends””” with a 37-year-old man. feels like that meme that goes “a job will have you 21 years old with a 56 yo best friend like dang where tf Mr. Otis at today 😂”

hmmm

it’s time for me to finally weigh in….

this book was manufactured in a lab to appeal to my brain

REAL lovers!
