Call Me By Your Name - Screenplay by André Aciman, James Ivory

3.0

For the longest time this was almost a DNF for me, but the last part sucked me in and it got bumped to a 2.5-3. I listened to it on audio, but also read it and found it much better to read than to listen to (not that I mind listening to Armie Hammer, but it just seemed to drag on). The writing is a bit too...navel-gazing for me, I found Elio's character to be your typical self-involved, overthinking teenager and my eyes rolled so very hard at much of this book.

So, why the 3 star rating? Because when the writing was good it was great, and like I said, I couldn't put it down for the last part of it. Also, the descriptions of Italy were amazing, and I can never resist that.
