My reading of Neapolitan quartet is completely different. It is not Lila’s external looks that make her irresistible, but it’s her spirit - a force of nature that she has. I think the Lenu considers herself better looking than Lila, so it was not so much about a beautiful face and body. Remember it’s “My Brilliant Friend” not “My Beautiful Friend”.

Would highly recommend the books to anyone who is still wondering - the torrent of raw humanness coming out from those books is, for a better word, brilliant.

The TV series L'amica geniale is pretty fabulous too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Brilliant_Friend_(TV_series...

Hands down the best TV show I've ever seen, and so well matched with Max Richter's soundtrack. Very much looking forward to the last season.
