I enjoyed the reading experience, especially that I love sad books! It was very emotional. I'm a little confused about Jasmine, though. I understand she's dead, and he's grieving her (and Daniel), but it just confused me that I can't even exactly pinpoint what it is, mostly at the end. I also felt there wasn't enough about Haru, considering he's an important character. The pacing felt rushed, especially to the mid part and their time together. I wanted more! But then, suddenly, he's gone?! But I understand; the story is about grief and his disconnected to what's real or not, and his family matter. It was cute read tho... and heartbreaking too.
