For Elio, it's nothing new that his parents take in a student at their summer house. He knows they come and go, another one every year. But with Oliver, everything is different - he is different. He, the American author with his nonchalant demeanor, his charming smile, and his signature "Later!". And before Elio knows what's happening, he's already fallen in love with the man who is seven years older. I thought the film was wonderful, and this year I finally read the book. It is and remains a tragic love story between two men who know from the beginning that this can only be a summer romance. And yet, this brief time together leaves a lasting mark, especially on young Elio. In the end, Oliver may leave the summer house - but he never leaves Elio's heart. Just beautiful. Have tissues ready while reading. You will probably need them, especially towards the end.

"Later!"

I totally fall in love with this book! Even if it´s not that new, there is at last a beautiful hardback edition with nice paper and a pleasant layout. The novel is a perfect choice for chilly beach days and for everyone who wants to read something that is heartwarming, kind and easy to read, but also beautifully written. I´m going to see the movie next! What about you?
