Okay so I started this after finishing You've Reached Sam by the same author. Despite the similar themes, this story is so different from Thao's debut. Not a bad different just different. I spent most of it confused. Despite the confusion, I was so intrigued and hoping to get an answer to what was happening that I kept reading but the ending just left me even more confused. Is Haru real or not?
The stuff with Eric's sister was really sweet and made me tear up but the overall theme of Haru just confused me hence the lower rating. Still a good read but don't go into it expecting straight answers like I did. It's very much so up to your interpretation.
