juliruiz's review against another edition

my goodness the way i cried

she felt like a gorgeous quiet coming of age indie movie (im very much someone who envisions what im reading) and impossible to put down from the moment I picked it up (finished this one in less than 12 hours)

i think that truly speaks to the testament of your writing if as an author you can emotionally move your audience. brava to dustin fr

A love letter to grief, feelings, and emotions. Eric processing what he is feeling through a world of his own. I had big feels.

Sometimes, you make certain decisions in your life, and they might not be the right ones in the moment, but there's nothing you can change after it's done.

'When Haru Was Here,' is a book that explores grief in such an overwhelming human manner, from the coping mechanisms, to the people you find yourself surrounded with, to the people you lose in the process when it comes to finding yourself. It's the kind of book has you tangled up with the characters and their problems, that when things are finally revealed, you suddenly realize that everything has changed, and you missed plenty of things along the way, which is by design.

This book is like one big connecting puzzle because one thing leads to another, until all of the strings connect once again in the center to create a full picture.
