Overall, I enjoyed my re-read of Call Me By Your Name. I love the aesthetic of the book and ultimately Elio and Oliver’s love story is heartbreakingly beautiful. I decided to read this while traveling through Spain, because I thought the aesthetic of European summer would enhance my reading experience, but I honestly think that is why I didn’t connect with the book fully. That is why I am giving it four stars. However, the writing is so beautiful and it looks at love in a very raw and thought provoking way. I definitely want to re watch the movie at somepoint soon as well, just for the aesthetic. But overall a great book!
