5.0

A book that I intend to come back to time and time again. Aciman has a unique way of writing that I fell in love with immediately. The only fault, in my opinion, is the fact that the romance itself is between an adult and a minor, and the age gap isn't so small as to validate the relationship (e.g. it isn't between, say, a 17- and 19-year-old), but Elio's naivety is used well and contributes a lot to the plot.
