A review by jem_carstairs
Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman
Did not finish book.
//CW S/A AND R*P*
This book. I knew it was problematic going into it but i didn’t expect a full on r*p* scene. In addition to the 7 year age gap, which would be fine if one character wasn’t literally a minor. Plus, the fact that the younger character (i really can’t remember their names) is happy about what happened and hopes for it to happen again. Can we please not glorify S/A?
In addition, I just hated the writing style. I don’t know what it was about it, it was just really boring. If it was just that I disliked, I’d probably try again but I have no desire to reread *that* scene. And I really don’t want to know what comes next.
To be honest, it horrifies me slightly that this has four stars and is so popular.
