Call Me By Your Name - Screenplay by André Aciman, James Ivory
5.0
I'm not sure I'm in a fit state to review this properly right now. This was one of those books that I was expecting to enjoy, but not enjoy to this extent. I wasn't expecting it to reach inside of me and touch something I didn't know was there. I will confess to being a little emotional at the end.
For me, it was a slow burn - it hit me out of nowhere, and though I wasn't expecting a happy ending, the fact I didn't get one hurt more than I expected.
The prose was beautiful and poetic - and I can imagine people hating it and thinking it was purple, but I didn't find it so. For me, it just worked.
