A beautiful exploration of grief and the stories we tell ourselves to get through the toughest times in our lives. Sensitively written, emotionally devastating.

shannonvonpesach's review against another edition

Er zijn verschillende manieren om met verdriet om te gaan. Ook Eric heeft hier een manier voor gevonden.

Hij maakt fictieve scenarios in zijn hoofd om met het overlijden van zijn beste vriend om te gaan. Het is schrikken wanneer er een écht wordt: Haru! Niemand behalve Eric kan hem zien. Dit breng soms grappige momenten met zich mee maar ook samenhorigheid.

Helaas is dit boek een DNF geworden. You've reached Sam raakte mij best wel omdat ik het ook echt een mooi verhaal vond. Echter doet dit boek dat niet. Voor mij voelt het een beetje alsof het hak op de tak springt, is juist het hele stukje over verdriet een beetje vlak en vaak kreeg ik het gevoel dat Eric niet alleen verdriet ervaarde maar wellicht meer.

Heel erg jammer, dit boek is dus niet voor mij bedoeld! Wel zou ik gerust nog een boek van Dustin willen proberen vooral omdat you've reached Sam zo sterk was!

I started this book with the thought that either Jasmine or Daniel would die and i was flabbergasted when i realized it was both of them

fantastic book, I love how Dustin Thao explores grief, i will be crying about this forever

An unreliable narrator that doesn't clearly differentiate delusions and reality until afterward. I understand why that choice was made but it caused me to read with hesitance

to the point I fully guessed the plot twist well before the reveal

.

The final scenes, however, were almost enough to salvage the whole thing for me.
