Giovanna's pretty face has changed: it's turning into the face of an ugly, spiteful adolescent. But is she seeing things as they really are? Into which mirror must she look to find herself and save herself?
She is searching for a new face in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, which professes to be a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves between these two cities, disoriented by the fact that, whether high or low, the city seems to offer no answer and no escape.
##感觉像是coming of age类型的书
评分##放逐,童年阴影,焦虑与不安,总要交织的爱与恨,容貌愈发接近父母的恐惧…还是那个Elena Ferrante,这本的格局小得多,也没什么时间跨度,虽然和四部曲比较不太合适,但确实相差很远。能再读到Elena Ferrante就是好的。
评分##Something must not be right about me - said every teenage girl ever.
评分##乔凡娜为什么拒绝被她奉为男神的Roberto的冷淡求欢,而委身于傲慢猥琐的Rosario?大概就在于这是她自己的选择,她享受选择带来的快乐,或者痛苦,而不是在“没得选”的优越环境里接受命运的安排。 故事的结尾虽然令人咋舌,却完全体现了整本书的内在逻辑——不满足于自己“应该有”的形象,勇敢地穿梭在美丽与丑陋、高雅与低俗、富裕与贫穷、真诚与伪善之间,打破界限,寻找真正的自我。

评分##整个故事都挺磨叽,一个手链翻来覆去写。唯一喜欢的地方是点出了成年人如何根据自己的喜恶(他们称其为道德)来操纵孩子。自己在桌上聊世界,在桌下偷情。和妞妞相处过之后,对书里面那种大人的虚伪更有感触了。
