A review by missmarauder2
Call Me By Your Name - Screenplay by James Ivory, André Aciman

4.0

This was such an odd book. I thought it was great, it was very poetic and in some ways very adept at describing emotions. It was especially good at describing the complicated emotions that come with having a crush on someone you shouldn't have a crush on.

And this poetry that was present in every single line, sentence, paragraph, the sensuality of the prose and the descriptions of Italy, was juxtaposed by how utterly crassly and bluntly the sexual encounters are described. And even though it definitely doesn't end with them living happily ever after, it was a very satisfying read.
