For those of you who also wept uncontrollably when you finished reading Call Me By Your Name, there's a beacon of hope on the horizon. A sequel. Like, an actual book sequel!

André Aciman, who penned the novel, revealed on Twitter that he loves the idea of a sequel to CMBYN and he's currently writing one.

Of course, we already knew that a sequel to the movie is in the works, but this is the first mention of a second book. And we couldn't be more thrilled, to be honest.

Now, the question remains: What on earth is going to happen next? Could more adventures be in store for Elio and Oliver? Is our heart going to be torn asunder all over again?

Frankly I'm not even sure my emotions can handle any further heartbreak.
