Stefanie S says:
A coming-of-age masterpiece, "Call Me by Your Name" beautifully captures a summer romance, set somewhere in Italy in the mid-'80s.
It's the summer of 1983 and precocious, 17-year-old Elio is spending the days with his family in their Italian villa. He soon meets Oliver, a handsome doctoral student who is working as an intern for Elio’s father. Amid the beautiful Italian landscape, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.

I work in Youth Services, and think books are pretty great! I have a soft spot for beautiful picture books, novels in verse and good science fiction. When I'm not reading children's books, you can find me drinking coffee, reading Scandinavian interior blogs and petting the neighborhood cats.
