What absolute doorstopper of a novel do you read all summer long? Looking for something so engrossing I'll start to miss vital work meetings but not really care.

I imagine most novel-lovers have probably already taken a crack at Ferrante. But it's always a good time to spend 3 months reading (or rereading) the epic of Lila and Lenu.

“i'm not trying to be dramatic but these books made me feel grateful to know how to read. the greatest novels of our generation, in my personal opinion: a complete, robust, vivid epic; a deeply felt, nuanced, and real portrait of two women and the complexities of female friendship, with a huge cast of characters that are all three-dimensional and distinct. such a feat to make all of this legible in”
