What book have you read that was actually WORSE than the movie? in c/books@metacritics.zone

Call Me By Your Name. The best part of the movie was how sensual it was, it made you feel like you were really spending the summer in Italy. The book has some of that, but no quiete. The last fourth or so also gets weird with their trip to Rome, if I recall correctly was someone giving monologues about desire. The book also has a flash-forward with Elio looking back at the events of the book from his adulthood, which doesn’t work as well as the fireplace scene in the movie.

Lastly, the book doesn’t have a Sufjan Stevens soundtrack.

What book, if a potential date has rated it 5 stars, would immediately make you swipe RIGHT? in c/books@metacritics.zone

I feel like it’s pretty realistic if you go on dates with nerdy/geeky people. He’s the most popular fantasy author at the moment, right?
