We are not written for one instrument alone; I am not, neither are you.
The only thing I can point out is that the main character, Elio, isn't a particularly believable 17-year-old. The way he express himself and analyse emotions and gestures is way too mature for his age. And his actions are somewhat toxic and a bit eerie.
But still, really worth a read!

The movie overall is better and this book just felt creepy and the author is a self proclaimed pedophile so take that as you will
