Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Fiction A New York Times Notable Book of the Year • A Publishers Weekly and The Washington Post Best Book of the Year • A New York Magazine "Future Canon" Selection • A Chicago Tribune and Seattle Times (Michael Upchurch's) Favorite Favorite Book of the Year Review: IF YOU LOVED THE MOVIE, YOU’LL LOVE THIS EVEN MORE - I admit, it took me 3 tries to read this book- solely because I was not very familiar with the writing style. (I just recently began to read for entertainment, since nothing on social media appeals me) I got through 30 pages the first time I tried to read it but I suddenly stopped because I realized that all the words that I was reading was going in one ear and coming out the other. I didn’t want to give up on the book yet so I bought the audiobook and got through an hour of it. However, it was practically useless. I don’t know if it’s my short attention span or what but I found my self not really listening and when I did listen and focus on what was being read, I couldn’t add anything up.! So I took a two day break, and that was absolutely worth it!!! When I finally tried it the 3rd time, I was determined to finish the novel. The first part of the book were choppy, since it’s told as distant memories. It jumped back and forth from his more recent memories and to his older memories. I got confused at times but it wasn’t hard to put two and two together. I found myself falling in love with the characters and the writing style, which totally came to me as a surprise because I absolutely dreaded it in the beginning. ITS DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE WRITING STYLES NOW. Aciman has a way of vividly showing you exactly how Elio was feeling and his thoughts. I don’t want to spoil anything so let me just say one more thing, the ending is absolutely heart wrenching. I found myself crying so much, and feeling for both Elio and Oliver. IF YOU’VE WATCHED THE MOVIE - READ THE BOOK LET ME TELL U, THE END IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE BOOK! Call Me By Your Name is easily one of the best love stories ever written. I can’t wait to reread it and bring back all the memories and feelings I felt when I first read it. Even if you don’t get the writing style very well, push through it. It’s a must and if there one book you need to read in your life time, it’s this one. Totally tragic and beautiful. Review: If you can read this without immediately packing a bag so you can read it again in Italy, I'd be surprised - Oh my, what to say, what to say... Call Me by Your Name was enchanting and enthralling in every possible way. Written in a stream of conscious style, 17 year old Elio pulls the reader into his world and brings them along for every thought, every moment, every impulse that passes through his mind. It's an intimate, sometimes awkward ride, but you can't help but connect with Elio's exasperated attempts to make sense of himself and his emotions as he navigates a tricky relationship. There are hundreds of things that make this story worth consuming, but I'll start with what has stuck with me the most: the atmosphere. Elio's family owns an Italian villa in the small town of B and the European, lazy summertime environment leaks from every page. From incessant cigarette consumption to hours spent reading by the pool and taking trips to swim and traveling to bookshops in town, Elio's romantic endeavors are paralleled perfectly by his romantic environment. I'll be honest, I'm writing this review after also having seen the movie and then immediately preceding to read the book for a second time, so perhaps the images from the book and film are intertwining in my mind, though flipping back through the pages, I find lines on every page that just ooze sexual tension and summer heat. Elio's thoughts are confused and honest, fully encompassing the battle between his emotional and intellectual hemispheres. He's impulsive but reflective, somewhat timid in nature but tends to be forward in his speech. Dialogue is woven into thought, Elio's fantasies feel as real as his physical connections and every emotion he describes feels open and true. No complications in Oliver and Elio's relationship are glossed over and every moment of doubt and discomfort is identified and analyzed. I guess if there's one thing about this narrative that feels unique in comparison to most romantic books I've read, it's the unwavering honesty on every page. I will admit, this read is intense and at times uncomfortable (I can think of one or two now infamous scenes in particular) but there are moments in this book that took my breath away. The novel's third part was by far my favorite as it shows Oliver and Elio at their brightest, clad in love and acceptance among Rome's beautiful backdrop and it's definitely a section I appreciated more the second time through knowing the pains of the final act to follow. Overall, there is so much I could say about this book; the story hasn't left my mind at all these last few weeks. I'm encouraging everyone I know to dive headfirst into this beautiful story whatever order they wish to consume it. (I recommend 1. soundtrack, 2. book, 3. film). This is a book I'm sure I'll be picking up again this Summer, though unfortunately, not in Italy :( (4.75/5 stars) ## Features - Picador usa - Binding: paperback - Language: english ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #200,321 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #24 in LGBTQ+ Literary Fiction (Books) #61 in Censorship & Politics #205 in LGBTQ+ Coming of Age Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 44,233 Reviews | ## Images ![Call Me by Your Name: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81b8bgvoIJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IF YOU LOVED THE MOVIE, YOU’LL LOVE THIS EVEN MORE *by S***7 on May 2, 2020* I admit, it took me 3 tries to read this book- solely because I was not very familiar with the writing style.

Call Me By Your Name is one of those books for me. This book spoke to my soul in ways I never expected and can’t put into words. André has written a masterpiece that explores the complexity of loving and longing for someone you’re destined to meet, but also destined to lose. And how some loves never truly leave us. This story will stick with me forever.
