It’s be. When they meet again, Elio still keeps his integrity and is not married. Even if they meet again twenty years later and even if Oliver gets married, the feelings between them have not disappeared.

Elio asked him: "If you could, would you like to start over?"

Oliver replied: "If you could, I would like to start over."

"If possible, of course I would."

But they did not continue this relationship, but continued in another way: accompanying each other. Maybe after reading this, I will understand what the title of the book is, "Summer Finale". Everything ended in that summer.

"Summer Finale" uses sweet love throughout the text, and is not just a love novel. At the end of the tragedy, two people who love each other cannot be together, revealing a cruel social phenomenon. Love between same-sex people will not be recognized by society. Especially in that era when ideas were not very open, now we are becoming more and more modern, and our minds are also very open and tolerant. Judging from the author's description, these two characters are not described as pathological, but from a normal mentality and perspective. Today, some countries have policies that explicitly respect same-sex love.
