The drama and sorrow of “ Call Me By Your Name” follows me in this book. I love the way he wrote every character and the beauty of internal dialogue in this one. I had to whip out my highlighter and start annotating because I just adore the way he writes.
If you liked the first book then I would definitely give this one a chance! If you’re looking for a perfect ending with a bow on top then you clearly didn’t read CMBYN!

didnt rly see the point of the main story in 'capriccio', but 'cadenza' was surprisingly tender and touching, and 'da capo,' though definitely too short, was poignant and even a lil emotional. ofc nothing can trump cmbyn, but find me--its latter 3 parts anyway--does its share in exploring and eventually concluding elio and oliver's timeless, tender, unforgettable love story, one that i know would no doubt stay w/ me forever.

Elio's relationship could be better if the old man wasn't comparing him to his son every five seconds. The mystery was fun, and Elio's passion for music just does something to me, but the relationship is a hard no.
Oliver's story was believable, until he decided to run away from his entire family for a guy he hasn't seen in twenty years. And why is the half-brother named Oliver.
It's a no for me.

Some people maybe brokenhearted not because they’ve been hurt because they’ve never found someone who mattered enough to hurt them.
