When Haru Was Here

This book broke me. In the good way of course, but still. It was so damn heartfelt, touching and sensible. The book is about Eric, who is simply just existing but somehow still needs to move forward. Throughout the book there were a few twists that had me staring at the wall for minutes because of overwhelming feelings. But I think that exactly those twists made the book so awesome. And due to the fact that it is also a queer book, it was even better for me as a queer peron myself. I really have to say, I really enjoyed reading this book even though I shed an unhealthy amount of tears.

I usually don´t tear up reading books, but wow. To be honest i read this book half way through and now almost half a year later I finished it, or should I say it finished me. The writing was so beautiful. The story is bittersweet (just how I like it). And Eric and his life always had me on the verge of tears. If i wouldn´t have been in public reading the last pages i would have SOBBED.
