Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman
Did not finish book. Stopped at 81%.
what can I tell you man the book is just straight up pedophilia.
I'll give the writer some credit due to the fact that his writing did reach an ammount of lyrical level- but that's it. No other redeemable quality. As I mentioned, the plot is about a young boy getting subtly groomed and Italy I guess.
The plot isn't even as compelling as people here make it out to be- I'm not even sure how I managed to finish 200 pages.
It's not "beautiful and heartreaking" - it's sick and mostly- as the kids say nowadays- mid at best. I've read fanfiction better than this.
It's sad to see people buying and hyping the book just because the movie was aesthetic.
If you want queer stories- you should check out queer writers and our own voices books:)
