Deanna Carter’s hit song, Strawberry Wine, did it better 1.5/5 stars There were some things I really liked about this book. The moments of intimacy. The fervent desire, the OBSESSION. But it ended up just feeling like a very unrealistic, very pretentious sex-crazed teenager Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this is realistic and people in academia exist like this. Well! I sure don't want to meet them or read about them. (Also - age gap disclaimer - it's weird.) Also, I thought Elio's relationships with women were so unnecessary and dampened the story. You could say they existed to show a foil to his relationship with Oliver, because they weren't as intense or something. Except he is constantly thinking about how much he wants to fuck every woman he is near. AND THE PART WHERE HE TELLS OLIVER NOT TO FLUSH HIS SHIT BECAUSE THEY KNOW EACH OTHER SO FULLY?????? Bro. And then Oliver massages Elio's shit out of him???????? Bro. Does This Happen In The Movie That Everyone Fawns Over Also- I understand having regrets and thinking fondly on the past. But this was only 6 weeks. Call me crazy but I wish that Elio turned absolutely insane in his obsession for Oliver. Then I would have been fine with this whole 20 years business.... I get what Aciman was going for, I just don't think there's a strong enough foundation. At least for me..... Elio Keeps Having Relationships With Academia Ass Men, So..... And most importantly, the calling each other by their own name's is so pretentious.
In poetic, elevated prose, André Aciman has written a powerful psychological drama of two bisexual men who share their most intimate selves, intellectually, spiritually, and physically. Elio’s thoughts and emotions are depicted in vivid detail that unashamedly highlight the infatuation, lust, love, and obsession that sometimes result from a first love.
