About this audiobook

We Are Okay meets Wandavision in this novel about loneliness, complicated friendships, and what it means to let go.

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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

Editor's Note

Gorgeously written…

Reality and fantasy clash in this gorgeously written and emotionally devastating novel from the author of “You’ve Reached Sam.” As Eric struggles with loss, imaginary scenarios that have played out in his head time and time again come to life when Haru, whom Eric met on a trip to Japan, suddenly appears again. The beauty of life and loss mix in a stunning and thoughtful meditation on grief and loneliness.
