I found that it was an easy read but the pages are wordy and crammed. It does not lead to a pleasant reading experience. I already have problems reading cause of my eyes and this made it so much harder. I also wish that the writer had made Elio less of a perv.

but i just couldn’t get over the age gap sorry there are some beautiful lines about the gap and like i get it but idk it just doesn’t sit right with me. and i’m just weak but it’s a little too explicit for me but i don’t regret finishing this book because “Ghost Spots” was amazing.

It’s such a poignant capture of a young love that pokes at its drama as much as it takes it seriously.
I don’t know how it’s possible to portray someone’s inner life so well. A literary masterpiece and one that will go down in the annals of literature.

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.
