Well, even though its supposed to be a sequel for 'Call me by your name' it isn't really that... It's still a nice book, but not what you might expect. It mostly follows other story lines and characters. Also there are some wird dialogues...
But still a nice quick read if you don't bring any expectations :)

Aciman has reeled me in. After this second installment, my heart was pulled apart but then slowly put back together.

The drama and sorrow of “ Call Me By Your Name” follows me in this book. I love the way he wrote every character and the beauty of internal dialogue in this one. I had to whip out my highlighter and start annotating because I just adore the way he writes.

If you liked the first book then I would definitely give this one a chance! If you’re looking for a perfect ending with a bow on top then you clearly didn’t read CMBYN!

3.0

it does befuddle me quite a bit, but this wasnt as bad as i was expecting? or perhaps spoiling myself by reading the reviews--a first ever for me--rly helped tame any expectations. granted, i did refuse to read the first part aside from the last few pgs w/ elio--didnt need to ruin the cmbyn sami and learn abt his recent exploit of one-day romance, thank u--but the rest wasnt bad; if anything, it actually contained some nuances and sensibilities of its predecessor.

didnt rly see the point of the main story in 'capriccio', but 'cadenza' was surprisingly tender and touching, and 'da capo,' though definitely too short, was poignant and even a lil emotional. ofc nothing can trump cmbyn, but find me--its latter 3 parts anyway--does its share in exploring and eventually concluding elio and oliver's timeless, tender, unforgettable love story, one that i know would no doubt stay w/ me forever.

I can't think of anything more disgusting than a relationship between a grown sixty year old and a young women, who he's only attracted to because she's not like other girls, she doesn't wear nail polish. Nothing made sense, and I can forgive that, but why does he break a cute father-son moment to introduce this random woman.

Elio's relationship could be better if the old man wasn't comparing him to his son every five seconds. The mystery was fun, and Elio's passion for music just does something to me, but the relationship is a hard no.

Oliver's story was believable, until he decided to run away from his entire family for a guy he hasn't seen in twenty years. And why is the half-brother named Oliver.

It's a no for me.

2.5 stars
