4.5

emotional hopeful inspiring sad tense medium-paced

IDC, judge me. I loved this book so much. It was sad, ya and the ending about his sister and haru were unexpected like damn. That made me give it 5* else it would have been 4*.

This story is about Eric who start imagining Haru, a guy he met on Tokyo for a day after his best friend ( he liked him ) died. It was all in his mind. It is not a spoiler btw.

This was way better than his last book, it had more events and it was more sad. It gave a better depth to characters and there were better stories of characters ngl. I liked his internship friends Alex and Simon. They were funny. And I loved the role Christian and Nick played. It made story more intense than last.

Jasmine played a significant role in this book and I loved her till end. She was just so cool and caring for Eric.

-
This still was very Ya but I loved it. The last book seem very avg and nothing was given more into it except the connection call. This book had other ideas too revolving around Eric which I loved.

The book itself was pretty sad nothing intense sad but calm sad.
