sometimes i think about how unrelieable a narrator elio is and remember that oliver was 24…. when i was 17 I thought people in college should have everything figured out, too. of course he was confused and distraught over realizing that oliver is just a kid too, that the age didnt matter in terms of what he had figured out about the world. we always talk about oliver having more experience and knowing the consequences of his actions but like… bro. im 25. i fuck up all the time and have no idea what im doing lmao he was coasting just trying to make a moment count and feel something other than the crushing weight of expectations everyone put on him and elio was a breath of fresh air. i think part of elio’s remembering of oliver is built on a sort of disillusionment with growing up and realizing everyone is just making their own mistakes, in their own head, trying their best in their own ways, and sometimes that means you get hurt. there are no black and white answers and i think oliver was raised to think otherwise.

There was no one to speak to. Whom could I tell? Mafalda? She’d leave the house. Marzia, Chiara, my friends? They’d desert me in a second. My father held the most liberal views - but on this? Who else? Write to one of my teachers? See a doctor? Say I needed a shrink? Tell Oliver?                                            Tell Oliver. There is no one else to tell, Oliver, so I’m afraid it’s going to have to be you…

I finished 'Find Me' last night and I have some thoughts but I'll write them up later. I've missed talking about André Aciman's writing and these characters so much, but I'm not sure this is the way I wanted them back in my life. I'm still pretty resolute that the book didn't need a sequel, but I'd like to see one for the film à la the Before trilogy. Thank you for the opinions some of you shared before I read it! They definitely helped to manage my expectations!

Amazon really did a number on me and managed to make me think ‘Find Me’ was coming out in 2020 instead of this year so guess who has missed out on an entire weekend of devouring the sequel and the endless possibilities it holds... yep.

I’m going to start reading tomorrow - but how is it? No spoilers, but are you all enjoying it? Was I right to be hyped for so long about a sequel?! Or should it have been firmly left alone after all?

While reading in my father’s library one evening, I came upon the story of a handsome young knight who is madly in love with a princess. She too is in love with him, though she seems not to be entirely aware of it, and despite the friendship that blossoms between them, or perhaps because of that very friendship, he finds himself so humbled and speechless owing to her forbidding candor that he is totally unable to bring up the subject of his love. One day he asks her point-blank: “𝑰𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌 𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒊𝒆?” I’d never even have the courage to ask such a question.

How you live your life is your business, just remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. And before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now, there’s sorrow, pain. Don’t kill it and with it the joy you’ve felt.
