The book felt boring and pointless at times, especially the first section about Elio's dad.
I liked Elio's section and his bit with Michel, it had me wishing for a different end for the book.
Oliver's chapter was a pain to read and it felt so out of place.
The last chapter made it all come together and make sense, I guess, but it's too short to make it worth it.
It almost feels like all the sections could have been better as independent stories.

I have to say this sequel did not turn out to be the one I expected. Or the one I had hoped and wished for, for that matter. But it may be the one the two of them needed, the inevitable one.
One can argue it was an unnecessary one. And yes it was, but to me, not at all unwelcome.
In the beginning, I was almost sure I was destined to be disappointed, but the longer I read the more wrong I discovered my predictions to be. The stories that unfold in between old pastry cafes, gloomy allies on Italian summer nights, and behind thin hotel walls feel profound, real, and earned by time. They all found me in the end, and I am glad they did.

I had a Friend share that, "If Call Me by Your Name tore you apart, Find Me will put you back together." Thank you for the recommendation, Leah, my sweet and tender Friend

this whole review is a big spoiler !!!!
in the movie i adored elio’s parents relationship and i adored his father so bad and i was so sad to find out they divorced. but then i started reading the book and was like elio’s dad !!!! let me in !!! i was so interested in his story and how him and elio’s relationship grew and then it just twisted and i’m honestly disappointed with samuel’s story ( also sad he died and didn’t get to see elio and oliver get back together ) i really was eating up this relationship because like spontaneous love and having so much passion and love for someone you just met and the rush of it all and the details and being vulnerable about it and each other and telling each other all the good and bad parts of yourself and still wanting to be together. it was so good until she mentioned what happened when she was fifteen. of course she learned and grew from that and she was barely a teenager then but i think that whole section of samuel and miranda’s story was unnecessary and her secret could’ve been literally anything else. and even after that it was still sweet and stuff and they were so cute even with the age difference but i couldn’t view her the same way like her excuse was she adored and worshipped her brother and i was like okay but? you don’t do things like that know matter how much you adore your sibling.
elio’s part should’ve been the longest and i would’ve loved to see more of him and michel. ( what’s with the age gaps in the perlman men’s relationships um …. ) like it was sweet but i felt like i needed more. wanted to see how that continued and how it ended. and of course i needed more elio and oliver. the content we got was so minimal and we don’t really see them together much which sucked. while i’m glad they end up together, i wish there was parts of the book where we see them reuniting while still not being able to be together and how they’d act with more tension. i could go on and on about this but all in all it was a mid book, short and sweet but slow paced.
