It's the summer of 1983, and precocious 17-year-old Elio Perlman is spending the days with his family at their 17th-century villa in Lombardy, Italy. He soon meets Oliver, a handsome doctoral student who's working as an intern for Elio's father. Amid the sun-drenched splendor of their surroundings, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.
O livro nos leva a um romance adolescente em que é possível explorar suas paixões mas o final estraga poderia ter parado no climax do final ao ter escolhido continuar acabou com climax afundando a historia em passagem totalmente desnecessárias. A escrita é boa, é como se fosse um livro de memórias então muitas vezes os fatos não são lineares
This book was fantastic. I thought it had raw emotion and it was brutally honest. The honesty in the book was so emotional and real. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a book that doesn’t hold back and stray away from any feelings of love and attraction. Beautiful and heart-wrenching.
