When Haru Was Here
by Dustin Thao
DID NOT FINISH: 37%
Look, I’m going to be honest. I should’ve stopped reading this far earlier, but I really wanted to give this a chance.
By no means is this a story that made me cry or sad. In fact, it just infuriated me for several reasons.
1. Were never given insight into who Daniel really is which makes hispassing feel lackluster and truly weightless to the story.
2. Anytime a man looks at Eric he becomes interested which just completely rids the reader of more of the “sadness” we’re supposed to feel about himpassing feel like nothing.
3. What Eric is experiencing is literally a giant mental health issue, and his blatant ignorance of it and willingness to dive deeper into it is super frustrating.
I don’t feel anything for these characters. I don’t feel any of this sadness I was told I was going to feel. I’m leaving this book wondering where depth of character is. It truly feels like Eric, and those around him aren’t fully fleshed out yet. A surface level story. Just truly not worth the time unfortunately.
