It took me 3 days to finish a 250 page book. Do you know how upsetting that is to me?!?! I kept having to shut it, because I was holding back from DNF’ing it. The only sliver of hope is knowing that there would be a snippet of ElioxOliver somewhere.

The last 11 pages. How ridiculous. I would have rather never picked it up and lived in my own imagination on how they moved on. Ugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

This deserves less, but I’m a good person.

"Incluso si no podía escribir o llamarme para ver si yo tampoco me había olvidado de nada, sabía que si ninguno de los dos buscaba al otro era solo porque nunca nos habíamos separado y porque, a pesar de quiénes habíamos sido, de con quiénes habíamos estado y de lo que fuera que se interpusiese en nuestro camino, lo único que necesitaba cuando llegara el momento adecuado era simplemente venir y encontrarme."

Dejé pasar mucho tiempo este libro, estaban pasando cosas en mi país y quería leer otras cosas también.
Recuerdo que antes de que se publicara este libro decían que sería de Elio y Oliver, tenía sentido porque si bien la precuela tiene un buen cierre, el final queda abierto (no me molestan los finales abiertos, solo creo que así pueden justificar secuelas xd)

En este libro nos cuentan historias de otros personajes. Obviamente, no me interesaban los otros personajes.
En ningún momento creí que estuviese mal escrito, pero no me estaba dando nada y yo sé que este señor puede dar más en sus historias.
Hasta que llegamos al último capítulo y es de Elio y Oliver.
Solo en el último 5% del libro me dieron lo que quería leer y que era el cierre definitivo de la historia de ambos.
Creo que la intensidad de Elio y Oliver es muy fácil de comprender y quedar fascinada. Creo que son unos personajes que te muestran lo que es el amor y son fáciles de identificarse.

Aciman está funadisimo, sigan funandolo.
Sin embargo, no puedo dejar de estar admirada de la forma en la que escribe, creo que es de los pocos hombres que escriben muy bien lo que es el amor y cómo expresar sentimientos.

"And now, ten years later, when I look at this wall under this old streetlamp, I am back with him and I swear to you, nothing has changed. In thirty, forty, fifty years I will feel no differently... I have met many women and more men in my life, but what is watermarked on this very wall overshadows everyone I've known. When I come to be here, I can be alone or with people, but I am always with him. If I stood for an hour staring at this wall, I'd be with him for an hour. If I spoke to this wall, it would speak back... What would it say? Simple: 'Look for me, find me.'"

Livro bom, bem escrito, mas que não acrescentou nada à minha vida. Vou viver como se só tivesse lido o Call Me By Your Name. Beijos.
