The writing and atmosphere was exquisite as well as the pacing. I loved the layer of longing, reflection, and nostalgia.

While I definitely enjoyed this read, it was a bit too smutty/explicit for my own reading preferences, but the writing surrounding all aspects of love warranted it nonetheless.

I would have enjoyed more dialogue/conversations featured between Elio and Oliver to enhance the chemistry than just the physical aspect, which took up the majority of their encounters.

I don’t intend to read the sequel, “Find Me”.

Note to self: I read this book solely via audiobook

Listened to audiobook — so beautifully written... like absolutely gorgeous writing. I def want to watch the movie and perhaps actually read the book to get the full experience!

È una storia genuina, del migliore dei sentimenti a cui si intreccia l'inevitabile sofferenza quando gli avvenimenti prendono una strada diversa da quella voluta dai protagonisti. Non è solo amore, è il tempo che scorre, la vita da vivere che spesso si vive volendo fare altro, volendo essere altrove, ma sempre in due...
Consiglio assolutamente la lettura di questo gioiellino, inoltre vi raccomando la visione dell'omonimo film del 2017 diretto da Luca Guadagnino con Timothée Chalamet e Armie Hammer, vincitore del premio Oscar come Sceneggiatura non originale (James Ivory).
