Este livro fala sobre Élio e Oliver.

Élio é um rapaz de 17 anos que vive no sul de Itália com os seus pais, que têm um programa em que basicamente hospedam uma pessoa durante o verão e em troca o seu pai, que é professor, ajuda esse hóspede a escrever o seu manuscrito, coisa que Elio não gosta, pois têm que ceder sempre o seu quarto.

Neste caso o novo hóspede é Oliver de 24 anos, que vive na América, que é um jovem estudante universitário, que irá passar algumas semanas.

E é assim que começa a história destas duas personagens, o que será que vai acontecer?

This book upset me in so many ways. For supposedly being such a “beautiful queer love story”, it falls short on every page. Elio’s stream of consciousness is annoying for starters. He yaps on and on and on about how Oliver may or may not have some interest in him. It’s infuriating that this is the queer representation we see in the media. Not only is the age gap not okay, but Elio’s fantasies of being assaulted by Oliver and about killing him or himself are so intense and just feed into the narrative that homosexuality is wrong and that the LGBTQIA+ community is a bunch of pedophiles and weirdos. Also let’s talk about how shittily Elio treats Marzia. Ughhh the only reason this book got 2 stars from me is because I actually enjoyed the ending and how they kept mementos to remind themselves of each other, that was poetic. The rest of the book can be burned.

When a movie leads you to read a book, and the book leads you to not want to see the movie.

How the hell does this book have a 4.32 rating?
