An achingly authentic and raw portrait of love, regret, and the life-altering impact of the relationships we hold closest to us, this YA romance bestseller is perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, Jenny Han, and Lynn Painter.

If he had been with me, everything would have been different...

Autumn and Finn used to be inseparable. But then something changed. Or they changed. Now, they do their best to ignore each other.

Autumn has her boyfriend Jamie, and her close-knit group of friends. And Finn has become that boy at school, the one everyone wants to be around.

That still doesn't stop the way Autumn feels every time she and Finn cross paths, and the growing, nagging thought that maybe things could have been different. Maybe they should be together.

But come August, things will change forever. And as time passes, Autumn will be forced to confront how else life might have been different if they had never parted ways...

I wanted to read this since I wanted to see what it could possibly be about. It was good but this is a book I would not necessarily read again. I felt for one of the male characters the whole time. Things kinda were predictable and I was just in a state of annoyance at the FMC’s internal monologue and actions. But it’s based on high school and the teenage angst is there.

There was one part that I at first didn’t guess, but as the story went along I knew what was coming. The ending was just me sitting there in a state of “that’s it?”.

If you like angst, high school depression, grew up with my friend next door all my life then this book is for you.

I feel like I should have felt more, but all in all I didn’t.

If I ignored the non existent plot, miscommunication and the second hand embarrassment I received from some of the characters, the book would have been pretty good. However, around the last 50 pages completely ruined it. The expectations of crying did live up, but I had no idea what even happened. I don't know how the author went from writing the first 250 pages to the last 50, but it sounded like she just gave the pen to a stranger and let them finish off the rest. WHAT IS THIS??

I still need to read through other comments to find out what really happened.

I would still recommend
