When You Were Here by Daisy Whitney
This book was beautiful. Loved it. Didn't want it to end.
The book starts the day before Danny graduates from high school. He's lost his mother to cancer just two months prior, and his father six years before that. The girl of his dreams, also the daughter of his mother's best friend, broke up with him, without explanation, last summer. Things aren't going so hot for Danny right now.
Danny needs answers, so he goes to Tokyo, where Danny's mother went once a month for treatment. While there, he spends time with Kana, who was a friend of his mother's (even though she is his age). Kana helps Danny put things into perspective. He also finds out why the girl of his dreams left him, and finds a way to forgive her.
Seriously, when I turned the page at the end, I was not prepared for it to be the end. I wanted to know what happened next.
