I didn’t know if i wanted to give this book 1,2 or 3 stars. At the beginning i liked it, then not at all. Then i started being interested in their relationship but then was very confuse and i didn’t know if i liked the way it was written or not. I was about to give it 2 stars at least. The last chapter saved the book and i feel like i should read it again in a couple years with fresh eyes.
I think the movie was 1000% better.

Het scheen me tot dit boek onmogelijk om verlangen zo tastbaar en puur op te schrijven.

“I'm like you,' he said. 'I remember everything.'
Boy! Where do I start! I read the book, then I watched the movie, then I read the book again and then I watched the movie again.
The story deals amply with human intimacy. Intimacy that makes you understand every shred of another human being, that makes you relate to someone at such a level that you basically identify that person as a part of your very identity. Such connection happen only one in a lifetime.
Call Me by Your Name is a sultry, all consuming and a remarkable coming of age novel about love and fixation, passion and accepting who you are. This is not a clichéd romantic novel! Not even close to it! It is invigorating, sad, tender, poetic and intimate. One of those books that can make you go from intense happiness and walking on the clouds one minute, to absolute sadness with nary a ray of hope in sight in another.
Reading this book needed a lot of patience, and that's what love requires, a lot of patience.
“We are not written for one instrument alone; I am not, neither are you.”
overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
