And I read this book because I desperately wanted to find out what happened with Elio, and Oliver. Jul 22, Dianah rated it it was amazing Shelves: arc , literature , quotes , autographed , favorites.
The sequel to Call Me By Your Name is probably one of the most anticipated books in the literary world, and yes, it was worth the wait.
The continuation of the story of Elio and Oliver examines the lives they've lived separately for the past twenty years, and it's genius how well Aciman re-captures the essence of these two.
Untangling themes of loneliness, love, commitment, and the intangible idea of soul mates, Aciman writes a story that leaves his lovers A haunting closur The sequel to Call Me By Your Name is probably one of the most anticipated books in the literary world, and yes, it was worth the wait.
A haunting closure for a love story for the ages, Find Me is the poignant depiction of existing in a half-life, and the plea to end the unbearable solitariness.
Nov 01, Michael rated it did not like it. I should preface this by saying I was firmly in the no-sequel camp from the second I heard of this novel being a possibility.
However, I felt a little better about Find Me once the synopsis surfaced - not necessarily a sequel, but a series of vignettes charting the lives of Samuel, Elio, and Oliver at later points in their lives.
The first third of the novel follows Samuel who, on a train to visit his son, meets Wish Fulfillment Love Interest Exhibit A, and readers are forced to see the first twenty-four hours of this love affair unfold.
I actually thought this was meant to be a parody and waited about seventy pages for the other shoe to drop - Sami and Miranda speak to each other like freshman Philosophy majors who just spent the evening carousing writing blogs on Tumblr, and this banter goes back and forth the entire duration of the story.
I have no idea. Find Me manages to muddy the canon of this world that is almost poorly executed enough to affect my enjoyment of CMBYN , which is saying something given how much I adore that novel.
This reads like four separate pieces of fanfiction compiled into a novel; none of it flows or upholds the tone of its predecessor.
View 1 comment. OK, so obviously I wasn't a fan. I finished it and simply thought, "Why? What was that all about? The book is divided into three sections.
The first, from Samuel's point of view, was ridiculous. The second, from Elio's was better but ended up being pointless because it was followed by Oliver's section, which was I don't know.
Aciman is a brilliant writer and I love some of his turns of phrase and insights. But the book just seemed a three-movement concerto in the key of OK, so obviously I wasn't a fan.
But the book just seemed a three-movement concerto in the key of men being pretentious Sami, where the insta-love and objectification was pretty gross , brooding Elio, please grow up and irresponsible Oliver, WTF?!
A swing and a miss for me, Andre. But I still love your others. Jan 05, Kenny rated it liked it Shelves: short-stories-novellas , queer-lit. This is the sound from so many people throwing temper tantrums for not getting the sequel to Call Me By Your Name they wanted.
The cries have been deafening. To be honest, my fear was this sequel would read like fan fiction. I'm normally a slow reader, but I read Find Me in less than an a few hours.
This surprises me since I'm still not certain a sequel was warranted. The novel provided a wonderful view in the future, and the final scene in the film of Elio was ideal.
This section was utterly ridiculous. Good God, if I met a woman on a train and in the span of 12 hours she wanted to go out and get matching tattoos, told me she desperately wanted to have my child, fucked me and told me she tried to seduce her brother and fuck him I would run away in horror.
For those of you who think I maybe embellishing any of this, I'm not. Sami does indeed meet Miranda while on a train and in less than 12 hours, gets a second chance at love with a precocious and fucked up woman.
Oh, did I mention that Miranda is younger then Elio? Miranda can't comprehend why her brother is so distant to her all these years later after she tried to fuck him hide spoiler ] -- did I mention this was in front of his best friend?
Neither Sami or Miranda are interesting or strong enough to anchor a novel. Sami was a very minor character in the original novel, and should have remained so.
His behavior is unbelievable. I understand why other readers were upset about this section. Oliver and Elio, Go figure.
By far, the most interesting section of Find Me was Elio's. What I really wanted here was a novel about Elio. I would have liked to have learned more about his life post Oliver, his schooling, his early career in music and everything that happened to him leading up to his time in Paris and his adventure with Michael.
I really wanted to learn how the 37 year old Elio became the man he was. Sadly, we got none of this. But Elio's time in Paris with Michael was a wonderful read be it too short.
Lastly, we encounter Oliver, post Elio, 20 years later. There is not much to say about this section. He lived in self-denial of who he was, and still does.
In the last 12 pages of Find Me Oliver abandons his family to seek out Elio. Oliver, the father, now becomes Oliver, the daddy. The only person that matters to Oliver is Oliver.
Nothing matters to him as long as his desires are being met. So, I did not get the sequel I wanted either. All I ask is that when the film of Find Me comes out, they ignore the idiotic tale of Miranda and Sami, and focus on Elio and hopefully bring about some redemption for Oliver.
Yes, Find Me is a terrible disappointment. Should you chose to read this, do yourself a favor. Skip the vapid preamble, and go right to the main course.
View all 13 comments. Sep 20, Eric Anderson rated it really liked it. Readers naturally have a lot of scepticism about these beloved stories being extended.
Rather, it thoughtfully explores the deeper meaning of desire when stretched over time and juxtaposes a few different kinds of romantic encounters which turn into profound life-changing events.
The film ends with Elio receiving the news that Oliver is going to be married which prompts him to mournfully stare into a fireplace.
Whether their passion is reignited or not is left vague, but their reconnection is cemented. This poses an interesting dilemma for the sequel because it needs to either fill readers in on what happened up to this point or follow them after it.
View all 3 comments. The third section, which is much briefer and a little more chaotic than the rest, shows Oliver, coming to the end of his tenure living and working in New York, as he throws a going away party and finally comes to terms with his life choices and the changes he now feels he owes himself to make his life whole.
When I started this, I was very excited. Although the first novel had a bittersweet ending, I had high hopes that even just being back in the presence of Elio and Oliver and even Samuel, the inspiring speech-giving father would be enough to ensure another deeply affecting read.
Sadly, this was not my experience. There were a few instances that a line or passage connected with me on a soul-deep level, but other than those moments, the happenings within the story itself left me feeling flat and disappointed.
Although I liked Samuel in book one, and looked forward to reading his POV here, I found his love interest, Miranda, to be highly annoying.
She came across as kind of unhinged to me, so reading about them lost its appeal the more I read on, watching their conversations became more and more outlandish.
And what was with the massive age gap between both pairings? Was there a message or life lesson I was meant to take away from this?
Because all I gleaned from this was that Miranda and Elio love older men In spite of the fact I was ultimately disappointed with this as a sequel to a much beloved story, the ending — and I literally mean the final 12 pages — make me think that maybe, just maybe , it was still worth it.
Oct 25, Iris rated it did not like it. I hated this. Don't read it. Alternatively, if you need a satisfying ending to CMBYN, buy this and skip the first half of the book.
Authors should not be allowed to be misogynistic assholes in this day and age. Having one named female character be essentially a cliche and a babymaker made me hate this book.
I will never read another Andre Aciman novel. Now I gotta go brush my teeth and get this bad taste out of my mouth. View all 4 comments.
The prose was lush, the characters - although perhaps a little pretentious - were often involved in conversations of a philosophical nature, and this had an underlying current of deeper themes than were presented and explored.
However some of the other aspects I also loved were prevalent and I appreciated them far less. The young age of the characters in the former series instalment made their romantic infatuations and obsessive e Much of what I loved about Call Me By Your Name I also loved here.
The young age of the characters in the former series instalment made their romantic infatuations and obsessive emotions understandable. Here, with the characters advanced ages they felt like a hasty case of insta-love.
I found the preoccupation with romance a bit of a bore, much of the contents seemingly irrelevant in nature, and the earlier portions following characters I didn't care for.
All I did come here for was resolved in a mere handful of pages and so the surrounding hundreds were not of any appeal, plot-wise.

Sep 18, Jonathan rated it it was amazing. Andre Aciman writes about love and longing unlike any other, his ability to capture an intangible sense of dire heartache echos throughout this novel like a love letter kept forever in your drawer, sent from a lover no longer corporeal within your life.
Find me reads more like three separate novellas each expanding the boundaries of love, without confining them to any boundaries.
The second part is Elio fifteen years after CMBYN ends and he is now a famous pianist who falls for a man twice his age, he has experienced brief loves here and there but the sting of Olivers loss still hangs over his head, even upon finding this new thrall of passion in such an unlikely place.
The fourth and shortest part I shall leave undocumented in this review. Nov 01, Emma rated it it was ok. I was dreading this book so much and I'm sorry to say I was right.
Were we supposed to remember the past and long for it? The book is divided into four parts. He meets a younger woman on a train and starts a relationship with her.
There were definitely some problematic aspects in this first part an I was dreading this book so much and I'm sorry to say I was right.
There were definitely some problematic aspects in this first part and I honestly thought that Samuel was quite out of character, I definitely did not recognize the mai I remembered from Call Me By Your Name.
The second part is about Elio and a man who's twice is age, Michel. It was pretty clear that their relationship was only a momentary time of comfort for Elio, it obviously could not have lasted.
The third part is the one I found the most interesting. Oliver is found dwelling on the past and all that could have been. Just hearing Bach's piece brings him back to that fateful summer in Italy and all thoughts about Elio come rushing right back in.
Elio and Oliver are finally together in the fourth part. I appreciated the fact that they both realized that everything could not be entirely the same after 20 years being apart.
To me this part felt quite rushed, even if in some way this was supposed to be the focal point of the entire novel.
I was just annoyed at the fact that we only got a few pages of Elio and Oliver interacting with each other, but somehow the author thought it was interesting to give us half a book exploring Samuel's relationship with a woman I could not have cared less about.
I can't give a good rating to this book, I just can't. I will keep on adoring the first and original story of Call Me By Your Name and just be happy with that.
Before saying anything about that book, I just wanted to mention that that Call Me By Your Name is one of my all time favorite book out there and when I heard there was going to be a sequel, I was truly excited about it but also scared.
I had very high hopes for that one and let me tell you that I was utterly disappointed; writing this review is actually very painful. Where to begin?

Maybe about the fact that we got only 11 pages of the content we were actually looking for and they weren't even that good.
I still don't understand what happened to be completely honest. How can we go from a masterpiece and a powerful story like Call Me By Your Name to something like that "sequel" and yes, I am using quotation marks here for the simple reason that it didn't feel like a sequel to me.
The book itself and the story from that matter is divided in four parts. This is a non-spoiler review so I am not going to tell you what happened in each of these parts but I will just say that I have been extremely disappointed by the choices the author made in general.
To me, the author projected too much of his own perspective and fantasies in this book and it truly showed. Find Me was met with mixed reviews from literary critics, with review aggregator Book Marks reporting five negative and six mixed reviews among 26 total.

It feels reminiscent of the first book, when Elio never knew how far he could take things with Oliver, so he always tried to hide how desperately he wanted to embrace him.
I like the focus on the music score Michel found that he wants Elio to figure out, and how the book starts to use music as a metaphor for passion and love a theme that carries over to the next section.
It gives every dialogue they have an element of danger—neither wants to bring up the future, because neither wants to acknowledge that this is only going to last so long.
Capriccio: 4 stars. The Oliver story is easily my favorite in the book. The two of them meet each other, then he joins them and the three become their own little unit, talking and laughing together the whole party.
I also like how it continues the theme of music: the capriccio Paul plays is a way of expressing his desire for Oliver without using words or outwardly betraying his boyfriend.
For them to like each other so I could sit, sip more prosecco, and then decide whether or not to join their party? Oliver got married shortly after leaving Elio; while Elio stayed stuck in the past, Oliver was able to build a whole life for himself and his family.
It sounds better. Problem is that most of us have—live, that is—more than two parallel lives. Da Capo: 2. This section should be electric.
But it just feels kind of limp and undercooked. But the old feelings are still there, and they sort of gradually transition back into their old relationship, learning how to be themselves around each other again.
That could make for a fascinating story, if Aciman wanted to devote a whole book to that. What we get is basically an epilogue to an epilogue we already got in the first book.
And it undoes the complexity and beauty of that ending by giving Elio and Oliver an unambiguously happy ending.
It feels like 12 years later, after seeing the success of the movie, Aciman decided to…give fans the ending they want? Sad endings can be just as overly simplistic as happy ones.
Maybe my central issue with this book is its inherent existence—why mess with a perfect ending? View all 10 comments.

To me, the author projected too much of his own perspective and fantasies in this book and it truly showed. Some passages of the first part and one in particular really made me angry and disturbed me, I was actually disgusted by it.
I am still very sad to see that a sequel with so much potential like this one has ended up like this. To me, this is just unforgivable.
The writing felt very poor the entire time, the end part which was the part that we probably were all looking for after having painfully read the previous pages has been neglected and I am still very confused about it.
How is that even possible? In conclusion, Elio and Oliver deserved way better not from the story but from the way to actually say it, remember, 11 pages!!!!
I am planning on writing a spoiler review soon because I have highlighted a lot of passages from that book and wrote a lot of things on it as well that need to be said.
Again, I am utterly disappointed and won't recommend reading it, at all. When I finished Call Me By Your Name in , it lingered in my mind and entrapped me in its romantic, hazy world that I never wanted to escape.
The prose and musings tucked between its pages changed me, as a reader, and I wish that Find Me had the same effect.
Aciman even hints, in this novel, that one can make up their own ending to his first novel while other readers may seek out a clear-cut ending in Find Me.
To me, this is simply a continuation of their lives to explore how they are as adults who are tired of settling in all areas of life careers, relationships, marriages, etc.
To me, Find Me felt like a separate entity than a sequel. It is well written and I continually highlighted passages and musings that stirred something in my soul.
Oct 25, Read By RodKelly added it. For all the lives we don't live, time is the perpetual price we pay. Jumping from life to counterlife, forgoing the screens, the veils, the self-deception, the buried memories awakened by a scent, a phrase, a tune Find Me is a novel of time passed, love lost, love found, doors closed, paths crossed, tears wiped, hands washed, seams repaired.
Aciman is concerned with the existential, the agony, rather the angst of love. I'm not sure whether I'm going to write a real review on this one.
I'll mull over it. I did not like the narrative voice which felt the same, regardless of the three POVs and ultimately the resolution felt really anti-climactic to me.
I'm not sure how much of the style of this one was also applicable in CMBYN which I loved , and to be honest, I'm kind of afraid to go back and look.
I think I was inclined to forgive a lot in that one because of my hearteyes. View all 12 comments. When the movie was announced I was a bit skeptical, but was reassured that the director was Luca Guadagnino.
If any book needed an auteur approach, it was this one.

As for the acting, Timothy Chalamet was revelatory, while I thought Armie Hammer brash and unconvincing. Part of the problem is that the book is really a rose-lensed love letter to first love as opposed to a realistic account of a love affair.

What movie fans want and what directors think are often polar opposites. This is not a spoiler so much as an inevitable fact of life.
Aciman took an instinctive decision in this regard, I think, and for me it was definitely the correct choice.
This is even foretold by the title, Find Me. It foreshadows the fact that Elio and Oliver being together is not the thematic crux of the sequel.

And now ten years later, when I look at this wall under this old streetlamp, I am back with him and I swear to you, nothing has changed.
In thirty, forty, fifty years I will feel no differently. When I come to be here, I can be alone or with people, with you for instance, but I am always with him.
The film made me realize that I wanted to be back with them and watch them over the years—which is why I wrote Find Me ".
