When You Were Here by Daisy Whitney

5.0

Wow! What an emotional story. I enjoyed the fact that this book was told from a male perspective. Danny has lost the people in his life that he counted on the most - his dad was killed in a car accident, his sister moved to China, his girlfriend breaks up with him once she gets to college, and then his mom dies after a five year battle with cancer. After graduating high school he decides he needs to take some time to himself and goes to Tokyo, Japan to find solace in all he has lost. Here he learns more about the people in his life than he might have imagined. I will be recommending this one to our librarian to order for our school.
