A Vulture Book Club Pick An Instant Classic and One of the Great Love Stories of Our Time Andre Aciman's Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. Each is unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, when, during the restless summer weeks, unrelenting currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion and test the charged ground between them. Recklessly, the two verge toward the one thing both fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. It is an instant classic and one of the great love stories of our time.

Not a romance fiend in any sense, but I finished it in a week. Truth be told, this book may not be the most 'comfortable' of reads for some, but I can appreciate it for what is - a good read.
4.5/5
The prose in this book is so exquisitely poetic, and the slow build-up culminates in a heartrending (just as most of the book is) yet wonderfully executed ending. However, I found that the book didn't sustain its enjoyment throughout, mostly in the little things, like how those thoughts and actions of the overly-obsessed and infatuated Elio felt a bit too extreme for my liking sometimes. Oliver, too, seemed unlikeable. But I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt since obsessive love is kind of the main idea.

Honestly an amazing book with amazing writing. The film and book just give me chills every time I read it. Everytime I read this book I feel like I’m reading it for the first time again.
