I’m afraid this review will be too personal because I’m not in a good mood to justify the novel, even though I already read exactly three novels after the previous review.  for me, I did a huge mistake in the first place while reading this novel. 

The truth is, this novel is the sequel from the previous novel untitled friend zone and I just realized it had after I watched a YouTube review while I almost finished reading this novel. But I can’t look back to read those novels and left this novel unread till I got the first novel. Then I just decided to go on. 

For someone who adores Hollywood music so bad will feel this novel is the right thing to pick. Because it tells the story of Jaxon water who is a super famous singer with several songs usually stated on Billboard 100. Albums, tours, and an intimated management make this novel crystal clear P, S detail for someone who adores harry style (MEEE) and always beg him to perform on every occasion.

I could guess the ending of this novel since Sloan met Jaxon, it will end like the usual novel as I usually read. But for those who haven’t been read this novel yet, you need to read this because it will amaze you. Despite this novel tells from both two perspectives that are Sloan and Jaxon but you won’t even guess what they will readily do directly.

Several unexpected things occurred without you could ever imagine it will. The writer unconditionally flies me to the sky, then directly drag me down the ground. As like when Sloan visits Jaxon on tour and found a woman on his bed and left him because of it, Jaxon being drunk and didn’t know what’s happening to him on his bed. Of course, he looked for Sloan in every possible place she could ever visit, but he can’t found her anywhere. And after hours Sloan finally gets back to the hotel to say an apology to him and realized that Jaxon is not someone like that, but Jaxon just told lies about a woman who slept and said all things she watched is true. I couldn’t even think of what he meant at that time. Till I finally do when it comes to the next chapter that he can’t protect Sloan from everything and everyone who will harm her if they still in a relationship.

He realized that everything happens to Sloan because of him, because of his fans, his management, his super crazy that he couldn’t even text hear in weeks. Then he better keeps a distance from her then. 

My first ever LGBT novel I've read till the last page. It accompanied me from the crazy piled of tasks during my deadline till I finally home still doing the same tasks. I spent 14 days to finish this novel, it's quite longer than I usually did. It's because I don't even think to read this genre after unfinished reading from reading and blue royal wedding weeks ago. 

This novel is like poetry for me, the author leads the reader to also feel Italian summer and the beach over there. I feel like I was there on the rock, sand, or even work out with them every morning. I feel like I was with Elio when he's transcribing the manuscript, also with them when they are making love, etc. 

It tells from both Oliver and Elio's perspective which is good because the two of them are of different ages. 

I knew from the start that Elio's father knows there's something different about them, but he just keeps silent and gives them live on their life without even ask what'd happened. In another eight years, I'll be forty-seven 

and you forty. Five years from then, I'll be fifty-two and you forty-five. Will you come for dinner then?" 

They've expected this case will occur from the first. They just a man and a boy who impossibly stick together, besides their gap eight are far enough, they also the same gender and doing back street. 

The word later becomes familiar to me since reading this novel. They keep saying later than goodbye. I think everyone could be Elioinn their childhood, but the case may not the same because they won't make love to one another.

 The case mostly like this everyone has experienced having someone around to take care of them till it finally ends because they should make their own family (p.s get married and have children) and let us just continue for ourselves it hurts sometimes, but it's life.

You could have had this instead. But going back is false. Moving ahead is false. Looking the other way is false. Trying to redress all that is false turns out to be just as false. "

Like figuring out that they won't ever be together. The word calls me by your name first appear when they first time sleeps together and whisper to call their name to mention another name.

 They met again after 10 years and still have the same feeling even though Oliver had had two children and teased Elio to just choose his daughter than himself.

 The last words from this novel are

 if you are like me, then before you leave tomorrow, or when you're just ready to shut the door of the taxi and have already said goodbye to everyone else and there's not a thing left to say in this life, then, just this once, Turn to me, even  In jest, or as an afterthought, which would have meant everything to me when we were together, and, as you did back then, look me in the face, hold my gaze and call me by your name

Tiada hal pelu dipersalahkan apalagi menjadi perdebatan

Mutlak nan tak terelakkan

Akhir pekan yg diidam-idamkan tak lagi jadi alasan tuk saling bersentuhan.

keadaan yang diawali dengan keantusiasan

keadaan yang kerap di jadikan kesempatan

keadaan pula yg buat beberapa hal jadi tak karuan

Activitas beku, para pedagang pilu serta mahasiswapun durundung sendu. siapa sangka kan berdampak seluas ini,

mampu buat hampir semua sektor ongkang2 kaki nan berpasrah diri. 

hanya oleh sebuah partikel nan buat manusia ternga-nga, renggut jutaan jiwa nan resahkan bangsa-bangsa.

apa mau dikata? sujudlah agar jadi reda dan berdoalah tuk di beri kelapangan dada.

So he got a new girl, and he got to be noble. I tried to be angry, but how can you be mad at someone for not wanting to be with you? Instead I just sulked around, gained a few pounds, and swore off men.

 for me, this novel is highly recommended especially for those who in love with adult romance story. it tells the story between daicy, rachel and dex. let's start from daicy and rachel, they are a best friends since very kinds. they  used to sleep over, go around and share everything one another. they plain for their future together as how does if they were 15 years old, 20, 30 and so on. both of them claim that they like a sister they never had. the story begin since university. actually rachel is a friend with dex afterward and like to tell rachel about him and  describe him with a calm and good looking man. daicy simply in love with dex and he feel the same way, they live together and take a proposal for wedding and of course rachel embroiled in preparing those whole thing.

    in contrary, the 30th birthday of rachel, something un expeted occur between rachel and dex. as like a common drunk people who forget what they are doing so do them. yes they sleep together and just realize the morning after. and here is the story begin. guess what?

    I'm absolutely on team rachel instead of darcy or dex. she is terribly  restrained herself not to admit that she already into dex since law school, shhe just keep denying her feeling and let her best friend put on her shoe. I genuinely hate innocent women like her.  

    this novel totally tells from the rachel perceptive, for me she is an incredible narrator it prove by sometime blame herself about thing occur. I hate dex more than I hate darcy. he is such a coward, as gentlemen he should have choose between darcy and rachel not just stay in touch with both of them. he admit that in love with rachel before he met darcy and just decided not to say directly to racherl because  he seem not  to be her type...... C'MN MANN u such a jerk and didn't want to take a risk for someone you loved. 

    scene that I hated the most is when rachel finally express her feeling to stay with him and ask him to canceled his wedding. then a crazy bastard like dex just say he can't    WHOTT.... then what's the meaning of having sex every summer weekend if it just end like this way. rachel once said 

   Don't be crazy. It's just a little heartbreak. You will get over this. I think of all the hearts breaking at this moment, in Manhattan, all over the world. All of the overwhelming grief. It makes me feel less alone to think that other people are getting their insides torn to tiny bits. Husbands leaving wives after twenty years of marriage. Children crying out, "Don't leave me, Daddy! Please stay!" Surely what I feel doesn't compare to that kind of pain. It was only a summer romance, I think. Never meant to last beyond August.

eventhough in the end of the story both of them are live happily. I still can't believed a goergeos girl like rachel can live together with those asshole wkwkwkwk

    FYI it's old-fashion novel and already filmed on 2011. if you guys asks me to compare the novel with the film I'll yield that the novel is much better than film. as like the other adaptation film, this film just cutt the most important of my own hating part of dex. here dex figured by a totally rich, calm and kind gentlemen no coward, capricious part that I hate the most. in addition, they make ehtan as the second lead male. what ? he even just a virtual friend for rachel and they just meet once on the novel. marcus should be the second lead male,but dunno hard to explain. 

eheheheh but overall the movie is detail enough. I often find the same word that I read on novel and they say directly on their conversation.
