Rezension von NiaSad and sweet, deals with heavy, but important topics. I really wondered how they would solve the meet-Haru-again thingi, but it was a nice ending. Didn't expect the sad plottwist close to the end though, which almost brought me to tears. No 5 stars, because I couldn't fully feel with the protagonist, but all in all very good.
Rezension von Verena*huge spoiler ahead* The last 100p were the hardest. I knew from the beginning that he just imagined Haru to cope with his loss. I just didn’t knew how much Eric actually lost. Would love to have another book with their love story (maybe) "Some of the best love stories are born out of tragedies, I say.”
Rezension von Luna<b>Ojalá hubiera conocido antes el final de nuestra historia. Así, probablemente no habría dolido tanto.</b> Decidí leer este libro en el aniversario de la muerte de mi mejor amigo porque soy masoquista y quería llorar muchísimo, pero, no lo hice. Yo quería llorar pero quede como Sheldon en The big band theory. <img src="https://media1.tenor.com/m/h70Xx6GfLk8AAAAd/sheldon-omg.gif" width="200" height="300" alt="description"/> El libro es súper adictivo, y te tiene ahí enganchado tratando de comprender que sucede. Llega en un punto en que no sabes que es real y que no. Habían cosas que Eric mencionaba fugazmente como sentir que todos los días iguales, que el tiempo no pasa, quedarte atrapado en ese dolor tan intenso, y realmente me sentí muy identificada con él en esos pequeños momentos. Pero después, comencé a cuestionarme que era real y que no, el romance en este libro es tierno pero casi inexplicable e inexistente porque tú no sabes si paso o no, y creo que nunca nos explican si fue real. El plost twist me dejó loca, creo que no me esperaba para nada eso. Siento que el tema de la muerte de Daniel quedó un poco, muy, dejada de lado, pero ahora entiendo que realmente no era como el centro de la historia. Aunque me gustó, no creo que sea un libro que recuerde mucho. La portada es preciosa, y si quieres un libro que te mantenga entretenido, y puedas leer en un día, este es muy bueno.
Rezension von johannaTHIS BOOK OMG First of all, I cried, so it is an instant 5 star book. But, putting that aside, this book was so well written and I just loved everything about the story, the characters, the writing style and the vibes. I annotated this book, so in the end I looked back at it and I noticed that there were many lines/parts that reminded me of my current situation in my life and that is something I LOVE in books. Another really great thing about this book was that there were many sad parts in this book but the epilogue had me SOBBING. All in all, this book will probably stay in my heart forever and I would recommend it to everyone, who wnats to experience the sadness of rejection and the imperfections of life.
