I rarely write reviews, but reading this as adult I’m fixated on the fact that Charles Ryder is the worst parent.

5.0
I started this novel completely blind, knowing nothing about it or the author other than that it was greatly loved by a friend of mine.
I enjoyed it more and more as it progressed.
The memories of Charles Ryder and his interactions with the Flyte family, it is divided into three sections spaced ten years apart. Funny, playful, poignant, tragic, wise, with exquisite writing throughout; it seems to be the story of a man coming to know himself through the loves and losses he experiences with the Flytes.
I will be thinking about this book for a long time, and would like to revisit it in the future.

There’s no way Jacob Elordi read the whole thing.
