Over the weekend I finished up André Aciman’s Find Me. I adored CMBYN so I went into the sequel with the expectation that there was no way it would be as good as the first installment. But it was!
Find Me is broken up into four sections, where each section follows Elio, Elio’s father, or Oliver at the beginning of a significant romantic relationship. A lot of the themes from CMBYN carry over into this book, namely the idea of parallel lives. There’s a fixation from many of the characters about what could have been, what never was, and what may still be. Find Me strongly asserts that true love seems to be equal parts choice and chance.
The prose is downright gorgeous and had me constantly choked up. Aciman can ruminate about love the way no one else can. I was especially moved by the sections about music. As someone who enjoys music, but doesn’t necessarily understand it, the descriptions of music and the way music often demonstrated the ideas the characters discussed was captivating.

All the reviews I read are mostly exasperated and unsatisfied.
Well not me.
Heads up people, you don't get happy endings, in real life.
I found this book to be exquisite (well, that goes for all of Aciman's work) , and above all, realistic.
Surely that's something to fall in love with.

The writing is R-rated John Green and the plot feels like fanfic for the majority of the book

Este livro é a continuação do livro "Chama-me Pelo Teu Nome" que fala sobre Élio, Oliver e Samuel.
Neste livro podemos ver como as férias de verão ainda estão muito presentes em Élio e Oliver, mesmo que ambos tenham seguido caminhos diferentes.
Já Samuel decidiu por fim a um casamento infeliz, por causa de uma revelação que teve com Élio e segue para Roma para se encontrar com ele, que agora é um talentoso pianista, mas durante essa viagem conhece alguém que lhe desperta interesse, coisa que ele nunca pensou a voltar a sentir por alguém.
O tão reencontro entre Élio e Oliver é um sentimento estranho, pois o amor que ambos sentem um por o outro ainda não acabou, mas não passa apenas disso e agora só lhes resta as lembranças dos dias que passaram juntos e felizes.
