good mystery, engaging

a quiet love story (sort of)
i didn't know this was part of a series, but it works as a standalone too

mystery solved 👍 yay!

book: hands are to hold
me, holding back tears: they sure are 🥺

she's so brave bringing an overtly sexy romance book to a meeting w her political rival lol

dramatic irony really is a punch to the heart

"why should i kill him? he's done nothing to me"

:(

it's interesting how most of what attracts elio to oliver is how comfortable in his jewishness, sexuality, and generally in his own skin he seems to be but everything real we see about oliver seems to show the opposite

by the end it seems that elio has become more like that imagined version of oliver than oliver ever really was, while oliver seems almost entirely unchanged

good coming of age, pretty mid romance imo
