Call Me by Your Name

A beautiful book, and one of the best love stories I've read in a while. Aciman juxtaposes Elio's internal fervor and manic desire with the setting of a gorgeous and languid Italian town, as well as Oliver's easy-going exterior.

The conclusion was masterful, as well. The reader has a strong sense from the beginning that the relationship is doomed, and although that is the case, Aciman manages to deliver a satisfying end, with just the right mixture of happiness and melancholy. I look forward to reading the sequel, which is due out later this year.
