Everyone still trades barbs and secrets, of course, exceptMeryl Streepis in town too!
She moves wildly and freely, but whats that playing in her headphones?
The light strumming and coy whisper of a Sufjan Stevens song.
This is the song Elio and his Oliver made out to!
What the hell is it doing here?
OnlyBig Little Liescouldve pulled this off.
Vulture has some wild speculation on how the love of Oliver and Elio entered theBLL-verse.
Madeline
An open house was canceled at the last minute and Madeline had time to kill.
She went to get a pedicure, but her salon was all booked.
There was a movie theater across the street, and she decided that she had time for a matinee.
(Shes a purveyor of the arts, after all!)
She wept through it, was absolutely destroyed by it.
Madeline read the book in one night and texted Celeste pictures of her favorite pages.
She loved the fathers speech at the end.
Why cant we be more like that?!
she asked Ed over dinner one night.
She left the book out on their bedside table for him to read.
(He liked it too.)
Madeline didnt get why Elio and Oliver shat in the same toilet without flushing, though.
Celeste
Kept getting texts of pages from some book from Madeline.
Was absolutely devastated by the scene where Elios mom picks him up from the train station.
Texted Madeline a bunch of peach emoji mid-watch: HE EATS THE PEACH??
Immediately downloaded the Sufjan Stevens song and requests it for every yoga cool-down.
The teacher does not honor her request.
Oliver asks, his face obscured behind dark sunglasses.
Because I wanted you to know, because I wanted you to know, Elio replies dreamily.
Was devastated by the ending.
She and Madeline went on a whole coffee date just to really dig into the text.
and sent a photo ofBeautiful Boy.
Unfortunately, because she felt bad about her radio silence in the group chat, she did watchBeautiful Boy.
The houselooked kinda familiar.
Once she realized that Armie Hammer the rich kid fromThe Social web connection?
was supposed to be romanced by a teenager, she rolled her eyes and started watchingSuccessioninstead.
(She loves Shiv, obviously.
