After the death of his best friend, Eric Ly creates imaginary scenarios in his head to deal with his grief. Until one of them becomes real when a boy he met last summer in Japan finds his way back into his life. When he least expects it, Haru Tanaka walks into the coffee shop and sits down next to him. The only thing is, nobody else can see him.
In a magical turn of events, Eric suddenly has someone to connect with, making him feel less alone in the world. But as they spend more and more time together, he begins to question what is real. When he starts losing control of the very thing that is holding him together, Eric must finally confront his reality. Even if it means losing Haru forever.

I'm not sure how to even rate this book. The entire time i thought Eric was having some early onset schizophrenia. The ending (but not the epilogue) was cute and heartfelt. But at the same time it felt a bit much. It would've helped too if there was a flashback chapter about jasmine, the same we got for Daniel.
The epilogue was meh. Yes, I figured he'd find the real Haru again (though.. Is he real?), but it also felt a bit too coincidental.
So, I don't know. Maybe I expected something different?
