Aciman writes this story romantically with the hope that teenagers hold about love. Armie Hammer's narration of the audiobook was not as bad as I was expecting, despite him playing Oliver in the movie, since he still captures the awe that Elio has. That said, at the end of the day, this is a book built on an adult-minor relationship where the minor seems to be more love with the adult that just moves on.
