An achingly authentic and raw portrait of love, regret, and the life-altering impact of the relationships we hold closest to us, this coming of age 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 how 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 don't know if I can truly embrace the ending, but I was obsessed with reading this book. Started it this morning and could not wait to finish it. Even though I knew how the story was going to end from the beginning of the book, I was left sobbing and heartbroken. For real, after I finished reading this book, it haunted me as I tried to sleep. When something evokes that much emotion from me, it is a job well done.
