Ouch, my heart. 

I manage to live someone under a rock, I knew the basic premise of this book; queer love, and that Timothee Chamalet is the lead in the film adaptation. 

I didn’t know this book would rip my heart out and have me scrambling through the last few pages to put it back together. 
This is one of the most beautifully written novels I’ve ever picked up. Aciman writes queer love in a way that is so accurate it hurts. 
Call Me By Your name had me reminiscing on my first big, gay love that also took place over just one summer. 

Five stars. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long while yet.
