'he was more me than I had ever been myself, because when he became me and I became him in bed so many years ago, he was ad would forever remain...my brother, my friend, my father, my son, my husband, my lover, myself.' 'We found the stars, you and I. And this is given once only.' I won't say I was invested the entire time because there was quite a bit of repetition in what was happening.

He needed a change of experience to actually grow into this new person I think. It was sad that they didn't get more time though and that even when they met up again in the future it was never the same. They both always knew that what they had had for even that short amount of time was the best of their life -

It was really pleasing that Oliver ended up having the same feelings as Elio had the entire time and I was glad that they were able to have even a little bit of time together. Those couple of days in Rome were magical to read, especially the night with the book party and them going to dinner with a huge group of random strangers. It really felt like Elio was living a different life and I think he deserved that,

I really randomly read this but it actually had all the right summer vibes. I have been reading a few things which feel a bit stream of consciousness like recently and this had the same feeling. I did enjoy being in Elio's perspective actually though, it was really interesting to see his feelings changing so rapidly about how he felt/how he thought Oliver felt about him.
