Dnfed halfway through, I just couldn't bring myself to care.

I'm not the biggest fan of the writing, it goes so slow and at the same time it hops from one event to another so fast. It's basically just elio's full thoughts, which I didn't really liked. The writing was just weird to me and I had second hand embarassment multiple times.

I don't really like Elio, I did not enjoy reading his point of vue at all and as much as I tried to I just did not care what would happen. Homeboy is OBSESSED with Oliver to a point where I would have been concerned if I liked him.

I'll probably give the book another chance next year, but right now it's a no for me.
