Rachel's Reviews > Belladonna

A bit of a repetitive and underdeveloped read. I wanted to see more of a reckoning for the protagonist whose obsession with her aloof best friend singularly dominated this novel, but the narrative never really turned a corner. I find it frustrating when a book takes itself too seriously to be a breezy beach read yet not seriously enough to live up to its literary potential. The result was kind of just Temu Elena Ferrante.
