Skimmed. Boring and just gross. Like a lot of weird incest undertones and like old man falling for young people.

What a bad book, so ridiculous, so dumb and unrealistic. I only liked Oliver's chapter, the third one. I had to stop myself for a moment and get sure if was Aciman's writing or some FanFiction in Wattpad.
It's so absurd, I can't understand how nobody around Aciman's circle couldn't told him, at least his editor, what a dumb sh!t he wrote. It's so different at CMBYN in every aspect. His writting decayed and it remains me to some 14 girl's romantic juvenile.
The first and second chapter have no sense. My second star is only cause I enjoyed some of the chats between the characters, but only because of that. They way they met, the way is unfold, what they do. Samuel met a girl, 12 hours later are planning a pregnancy ¿¿?? Wt hel!? she wanted to be with her brother and from nowhere and without a previous explanation she wanted to be slapped by him. My face was in a constant wt£ expression. Elio meet an old man, the other day the Old man feels like he can't live without Elio¿?? Too unrealistic man. Only 14 pages for Elio and Oliver, but I like to know that they end up together.
Nevertheless, very disappointing, even more when I compared with CMBYN.
