4.5

Ignoring the problematic age gap between Elio and Oliver, so much of this book is well written. Specifically, whenever Vimini would talk, or someone would talk about her, I would start bawling. I wish I had a book, and a sequel to that book, and a movie just about her because ohmygod she was the best part of this book and she was in it for maybe 10 pages altogether.

Minor: Adult/minor relationship

They like, never talk about it. Their relationship is mentioned by other characters, but seemingly no one talks about the fact that a 23 year old and 17 year old were in a relationship.
