Ugh, my heartstrings! For friends asking what I thought about this book, here’s my full review: I was reminded how much I loved “You’ve Reached Sam” by Thao, so reading this one was just as heartbreaking in parts. 

Eric, our MC, is dealing with grief of the loss of his friend, but along the way, he meets Haru. Haru starts to fill in the voids, but only Eric can see him. Eric’s sister also is one of his biggest supporters/friends, but she’s not around as much as she used to (I loved the small nod to Ann Arbor and UofM in the beginning of the story). Along the way, Eric deals with this grief and seeing Haru in his head, all while making decisions that aren’t always great at times. Once the end of the story was in sight, things started to make sense and crying at the end definitely happened (making that connection and hoping it wasn’t true). Because I also bought the B&N copy, I got to read an exclusive bonus chapter, which made my already somewhat broken/happy heart a little less broken. The ending leaves you knowing that Eric will be alright and even finds some happiness with the one that got away…💕⭐️
