The book that I've read and found interesting is called Call Me By Your Name. I first watched it as a movie and then I read the book. It is about a 17-year-old boy named Elio who is having a holiday with his family in Italy. He meets one of his dad's students, and they both experience two memorable weeks in Italy. I read it about a year ago after I bought it. The things I like most about this book are how the writer describes a perfect summer in Italy because it captures the essence of that age. What I dislike about this book is that there are some words that are unfamiliar to me, and I was a pretty much beginner reader in English at that time. So, I sometimes needed a moment or had to Google some of the words.
