The way this book made me feel, is incredible.
I have not cried reading a book for a while, this was the most heart wrenching young adult book I have read.
I highly recommend reading this and if you have teens do let them read it as well, Dustin has written a perfect book for how it is to deal with grief.
Picking this book up on a whim was the best decision I have ever made 5 stars ✨✨✨✨✨

I thought the beginning was fine and then it felt like it started to loose its original premise and the things that happened felt like they got kind of irrelevant in a sense, I would have given it less stars but I thought the last 20 ish pages were good so it bumped the book back up a little.

This was a 3.5 for me until the last chapter and then it went up to 3.75

This author wanted this book to have a twist SO bad and guess what! It sure did it. However, in the attempt to get that ‘gotcha’ moment, the author literally gave us nothing! The first 85% was basically a completely different book than the last 15%. Entirely separate. Haru himself was literally pointless. He didn’t even teach Eric a life lesson or encourage him to leave his shell. Eric was so desperate to live in his own head that I genuinely thought he had a brain tumor or something, like the grief wasn’t written well enough that it was readable as grief - I just got left desperation with none grief.
it got boring. Eric's imaginary scenarios got really repetitive. none of the characters I liked enough or got to know well enough ⅓ of the way in to care to finish it.
