DNF @ 100 pages
Personally, I don’t like Julie as a main character and the writing feels bland to me. People can grieve however they want, but I didn’t like how she handled Sam’s death and acted impulsively. She’s hurt people who were also close to Sam while she was grieving. 

I think while it’s fine to have a flawed character, I just don’t like Julie. Like of course it’s from the perspective of a teenager and everything revolves around them, but I think the lack of sympathy and empathy to herself and others is what turns me off. And it just makes me wonder what’s so likable about her in the first place because she’s so pessimistic, even before she meets Sam. 

Not an enjoyable read, made me bored, do not care how this will end.

Somewhat felt boring? It wasn’t really for me, though I loved the dynamic created between Elio and Oliver. Elio’s inner monologue and thoughts were getting too much and it’s been and on and off read for me the past year with little to no progress. Maybe in the future I can pick it up again and try again!
