When You Were Here by Daisy Whitney
3.0
This was book was ok. I liked it.
I felt like as someone who has lost my mum to cancer I felt like I could connect to the story and to Danny in that aspect and felt that Whitney did a really good job of writing about loss in a way that's real and not fluffy. However, as the storyline goes, I had issues. I liked the idea of Danny going to Tokyo for closure but the "plot twist" of the unknown child. I didn't get? It seemed so random and unnecessary. I feel like the story would have flowed a lot better without that!
