There is plenty to say about this book. First, one has to keep in mind this is Aciman's book not the fans (myself included).
First, in the story there are some ideas about relationships I don't agree with but that's just the author's perspective on love. What really bothered me is how instead of slowly developing the different settings, characters and so on like in Call me by your name, the author speaks from three points of view without completely explaining any of them. So that, for example, the reader doesn't get to know the characters, which at many times seem fake.
Also, reading this book I got the feeling that Aciman had some very clear images of where he imagined the characters would be in the future but didn't really know how to get there. So again, the story seems rushed at times and one can't comprehend it.
Apart from all of this, the author's writing is still so beautiful it was a pleasure to read this book.
