Terribly sad!
I was expecting a cute sensible book. Our main character meets Haru for a couple of hours. Only one amazing chapter. The rest of the book? Filled with loss, grief. The guy has HALLUCINATIONS of Haru. His best friend dies too. Not for me.

I simply loved reading this book 🫶🏼
Just finished reading this masterpiece and I totally love love LOVED IT. Only took me 2 days. This is prolly one of the best books I've ever read so far (after You've Reached Same ofc). This is a heartbreaking story. But it also shows you that whatever problem you're going through in your life are way smaller than what the main character (Eric) is goin through (though it's not the same for everyone ik). The writer had one job and he absolutely nailed it! Go for it! It's absolutely worth the time and money!! Dustin Thao, the man that you are!!! 🫶🏼

‘When Haru Was Here’ is an emotionally resonant exploration of grief, memory and the healing power of connection. Eric Ly, a nineteen-year-old is grappling with the devastating loss of his best friend Daniel. Struggling to navigate his pain Eric retreats into a world of imagination and cherished memories. His coping mechanisms blur the line between reality and fantasy especially when Haru Tanaka, a boy he met during a magical summer in Japan, reappears in his life who is visible only to him.Haru’s mysterious presence becomes Eric’s anchor, helping him face his grief and rediscover purpose. The narrative deftly intertwines themes of loss, love and family dynamics thereby illustrating how grief can isolate yet also pave the way for profound self-discovery. The depiction of Eric’s emotional turmoil feels raw and authentic as he clings to moments of connection while resisting the inevitable changes in his life.The book's conclusion is deeply moving, offering hope and closure in a way that resonates long after the final page. Overall the book is a tender, bittersweet tale that captures the complexities of loss and the enduring impact of love.
