Elios and Olivers relationship is very complicated but I think that the age gap (7 years) isn’t as bad as it is written.
P.S. I can’t eat peaches anymore without feeling slightly sick 🥲

I would advise readers to research this book thoroughly and read the content warnings beforehand as many descriptions are quite graphic and uncomfortable to read.

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!
