Find Me

It took me some time to start to read this book due to its many bad reviews. However, since it was not about Elio and Oliver I've decided to give it a chance.
I enjoy so much the way André Aciman writes that it becomes difficult to rate and analyze the story.
The book has 4 chapters, each one following the life of our beloved characters. As “Call me by your name” all of them are beautifully written.
I sort of enjoyed Elio's father and Elio/ Michael story, hence the 3 stars. I honestly don't care about Oliver, its attractions and life choices and felt tempted to quit the book.

There is one thing I strongly dislike regarding the book: The fact that the characters happiness is highly dependent of one and only person.
This was acceptable in “Call me by your name” since Elio was 17 years old and it was its first love. I think everyone has been here and felt this, being either in love or infatuated. However, as life goes on and we age, we grow, meet new people and CHANGE, and eventually, the person who was the first love is just that, someone who was part of our life.
Moreover, although love is an important part of our lives, do we need to be in love to be happy and enjoy living? I strongly believe that happiness should start in ourselves and not be dependent on others.
I do not find it believable that all of the book characters follow this same pattern.
