My Favourite Quotes from Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman

Loved Call Me By Your Name? Here are the best 10 quotes that will take you back to the Italian riviera with Elio and Oliver.

Call Me By Your Name follows Elio during one summer on the Italian riviera when he was joined by a particular American academic graduate, Oliver. The two develop a close relationship during the six weeks they spend together.

What starts off as an innocent boy's ostentatious actions to charm Oliver slowly develop into a summer fling. From the morning swims in 'heaven' to their sultry evening in Rome, the experiences gone through by both Elio and Oliver cause repercussions that would affect them for the rest of their lives.

I mentioned in my review how the plot was really disturbing for me to read. There were so many problematic plot points that the book was such a turn-off. However, the writing that was relatable and painful (I mean this literally, metaphorically and emotionally) made me continue reading.

I am also simply someone who doesn't put down a book no matter how bad it is.

So, here are some of my favourite quotes from Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman.
