BOTH the book series and tv series are absolutely incredible. The covers of the books are horrible on purpose, so don’t let that deceive you from how fantastic they truly are. Life long coming of age story based in Italy about feminism, communism, the mob, and every else that you could want.

In precise, clear prose it tells the story of two girls and their entertwined lives in a small, poor town, post ww2 1960s. The four books spans over their lifetime as friends. It traces the fragility and traditional lives of girls becoming women in a patriarchal world, education, familial duties and marriage. I finished the series in like a month I could NOT PUT IT DOWNNNN!!! 🧍🏻♀️

It is my belief that so many people would be less lonely if they invited their friends to do their mundane errands and chores together. Dont have time to see your friends, cant afford to go out to socialize? Invite your friends to things you already will be doing and it ease some of the pain of the responsibilities. Or call someone to come over if you made a little too much for dinner. here is what I shared tonight: chicken thighs, fairy tale eggplant, fennel salad, and a nice groleau red wine

when I was in high school, my friend and I grew up catholic but we were always the ones wrecking havoc and causing mayhem. One day we got the bright idea to convince all these sheltered catholic kids that my real name was Breast and my name (Bailey) was a nickname for it. I told them that I had talked to the school about changing my name on any official reports to Bailey instead of Breast- due to excessive bullying. None of them were comfortable calling me my “correct name” and I would go into long speeches about how vulnerable it was for me to come forth with my real name and it was disrespectful for them to not acknowledge me as such, etc. Anyways, this lasted a few months before we finally confessed our scheme and everyone’s minds were blown. The end
