Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman
2.0
** spoiler alert **
while i think i had some moments in this book where i was really invested in both the characters and the story
i think the age cap and VERY MAJOR pedophilia made me uncomfortable (Oliver is 24 while Elio is 17!!!!)
also i think the fact that Oliver took advantage of Elio made me upset (in the sense that Elio was easy to be taken advantage of for 1) being young and 2) Oliver being his first love) In my mind Elio deserved way better and didn’t deserve to be left high and dry while Oliver was (once again) carefree by marrying another woman (LIKE DO YOU LOVE ELIO OR NOT!!!??!??)
anyways the only reason i’m giving this a 2 star (and not a 1) is my enjoyment (which was very little) in reading this book and beautiful writing.
now if you’ll excuse me i’m gonna try to get the traumatizing image of peaches out of my mind (🤢🍑)
