Set in a rough, working class neighborhood in Naples, My Brilliant friend focuses on the childhood friendship between Elena and Lila. The story is told from the perspective of Elena who initially meets Lila when the 2 girls are in first grade. Elena is drawn to Lila by her brash, bold and often "bad" behavior. The story is very much character-driven and follows the 2 girls up through their late teens. The girl's relationship is made up of various dimensions such as loyalty and jealousy.
