When Haru Was Here by Dustin Thao
2.0
ARC REVIEW
I definitely had low expectations going in to this, but I liked the premise so wanted to give it a go. I understand why people like Thao’s writing, but for me, it’s just too simple and messy.
Unfortunately, like You’ve Reached Sam, this book was way too all over the place. Sure, Thao’s books are easy to read and will definitely be right for someone, however, that’s not me. The story was too loosely plotted and far too here, there snd everywhere for something that should have been dynamically simple.
thank you to Macmillan Children’s and Netgalley for the ARC
