“Call Me By Your Name” By André Aciman Review

Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents’ cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference. But during the restless summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire, intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them. What grows from the depths of their spirits is a romance of scarcely six weeks’ duration and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

I gotta admit that this book didn’t grab me as it had other people. I personally found more bad things about this book than good.

The story here was pretty decent, and there were some good moments here and there but overall it wasn’t something I personally liked. The story in this book was for sure different and unique in a way, but it just didn’t work for me personally. This book had some sweet and nice moments here and there, but for me personally 95% of this book was boring. 

The characters here are very flat and overly stereotypical. It might be because of the fact that the author focused more on the storyline than rather on giving us good characters which readers can actually like or relate to. 

This book being from Elio’s perceptive, and the farther we get in this book the more we notice how big of a creep Elio is. Because there were times when the main character became a full stalker over the man he fall in love with. And there was a moment when the main character thought about killing the guy which he fall in love with.

The age gap between Elio and Oliver is 7 years but the way the author presents the age gap to us makes it feel like it is 30 years not 7.

The writing style here was very, very weak and it really made this book even more difficult to like and find interesting.

The ending in this book was all over the place. Because it kept jumping forward in time without any warning or sign that it would happen. 

The ending also kept building up to the fact that Elio and Oliver will end up together at the end but what really happened at the end was Elio’s father dying, and Oliver coming back to Italy to pay his respects.
