I marked 3 stars but I would have to say it was like a 3,5-3,75 star book. This book wasn’t always my kind of book. The first two parts of it specifically where really tough for me to get through. For awhile I thought it was only worth like 2,5 stars. However I have to say the last two parts pleasantly surprised me. I think if the whole book was like the last two parts I would’ve given it 4,5-5 stars. It’s not that the writer is bad because he’s not, it’s more the way he chooses to write that didn’t sit right with me.
I found that it was an easy read but the pages are wordy and crammed. It does not lead to a pleasant reading experience. I already have problems reading cause of my eyes and this made it so much harder. I also wish that the writer had made Elio less of a perv.
