Call Me by Your Name, (Paperback)

This is the best, most gorgeous book ever. The movie is equally as gorgeous and definitely caught a lot of the book well. Pretty easy to read, detail is amazing, and if you watched the movie first it is very easy to remember the scenes when you come across them in the book, makes the experience 100x better. I listened to the audiobook while I read, which is voiced by Armie Hammer who plays “Oliver” in the movie adaptation of this book and I definitely recommend listening to it as you read! He's a great reader and the way the book is written goes very deep into Elio's thoughts with some “big” words so it's easy to get lost, at least for me. If you handle being read to better than reading to yourself, I 100% recommend the audio book and it is available on Audible! Overall, great book, and the movie is just as great, Timothée and Armie did an amazing job at portraying Elio and Oliver. The movie also makes more sense in many scenes after reading and knowing what Elio was thinking in those scenes.

It was really a great book to read %26 is also very different but similar to the movie. Many behind the scenes of what happened in the movie and more explicit scenes as well. Loved it, would recommend reading it for beginners. The characters were written differently and many details in imagery.
