"Loved the inspired setting for this romance, a story of young love that is intense and very introspective. The poetic writing meanders, sometimes pretentious, yet honest and often explicit. "

"Some of the most beautiful writing I have ever seen. Weird… in some parts to say the least. But still beautiful and impactful nonetheless. "

"Maybe I don't have enough life experience to appreciate it, but I really didn't like this book. The only part I liked was the end when they were older and reminiscing. The way Elio was thinking about Oliver was honestly super toxic and gross. Also some things were way too detailed for me. I'll never look at a peach the same."
