Wish I could help! I haven't seen it yet, I'm dying to. I read about it in Entertainment Weekly and immediately added it to my Netflix queue. I'm sure I'll be waxing on with you once I see it. <3

Is it not a wonderful story? I haven't seen the film (yet) but I read the book when it was first published in Dutch (back in 2008:) and have reread it in English last year.
Here's part of the bookreview I wrote after my first time reading it:
This book has the absolute best description I have ever read about the horrid feelings and doubts that come with falling in love. I can imagine people who love being in love can enjoy this story as well, but I absolutely hate it and was especially overwhelmed by the chapters in which Elio is overblown by insecurity.
What hit me hard was Oliver's response to Elio's confession of his feelings. Apparently he knew all along. Jeebus, do you think the objects of our desire are usually aware of what we're trying to hide? Why is love so fucking complicated?
The conversations between Oliver and Elio before they get together are painfully intimate. And when they get more involved... I died a little. Their romance is captured beautifully, including all the uncomfortable bits. Do people ever stop worrying?
While reading this book I constantly wanted to put it away at a point where I could still handle the relationship. But I was brave enough to keep going and it was well worth it.
I didn't want to let go.

Still true the second time I read it. Hope to go see the film soon! Vent away, bb!

Oooh, how wonderful that he is reading the book, that makes it even more special! Hope I didn't give anything away with my squee (I don't think I put in any specifics;)

Almost painful is indeed how I felt about it too; Elio is so precious and vulnerable and he tries to act so casual. MY HEART. <3<3<3
