Each of the characters have a lovable or relatable quality to them. However, for me the most impactful scene was the conversation between Elio and his dad.
Had the book not been overly wordy at times with exceptionally long chapters, making the beginning in particular difficult to get through, I would have rated higher but nevertheless I would still recommend this book.

I would advise readers to research this book thoroughly and read the content warnings beforehand as many descriptions are quite graphic and uncomfortable to read.
