TW: age gap, adult-minor relationship & sexual harassment

“Do I like you, Oliver? I worship you.” –Elio

The way Elio describes everything is so beautiful. The way he uses his words is beautiful. This book gives a good picture of having a crush. The longing of the crush when they give you the silent treatment, when they briefly touch your hands, the looks they’ll give you, the jealousy when they're with someone else and also the longing to confess the undying love. I love how Elio is just like all of us when having a crush.

Honestly I don't know what else to say abt this book. There are quotes that I highlighted and all of them are so beautiful.

Also, Elio is so unhinged when he's horny. This book seriously has no filter when it comes to sex.

This book is so Gorgeous and august by Taylor Swift.
