This book was a wonderfully poetic read that had the exact feeling of slow molasses summer in a book until you hit the bit where
the TEENAGER starts banging the FULLY GROWN ADULT.  Elio says at one point that he knows nothing (paraphrasing) and that is the only way I could enjoy the rest of this. It was just taking the whole relationship and following story in the context of a teenager romanticising something he truely does not understand.
