Publisher's summary

An intensely emotional and gripping companion novel to Laura Nowlin's USA Today and New York Times bestselling novel If He Had Been With Me about the love that both breaks and heals us. Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Jenny Han.

If only I'd told her that I loved her years ago, then I wouldn't be here now.

Finn has always loved Autumn. She's not just the girl next door or his mother's best friend's daughter, she is his everything. But she's not his girlfriend. That's Sylvie, and Finn would never hurt her, so there's no way Autumn could know how he truly feels.

Jack, Finn's best friend, isn't so sure. He's seen Finn and Autumn together. How could she not know? And how is he supposed to support and protect Finn when heartache seems inevitable?

Autumn surrounds herself with books and wants to write her own destiny—but one doesn't always get a new chapter and fate can be cruel to those in love.

Told through three different perspectives, If Only I Had Told Her is a love story brimming with truth, tragedy, and the unexpected bonds that heal us.

Eloquently written and heart wrenching yet hopeful all in one!

Eloquently written and the grieving process for each character. WOW. I couldn’t stop crying, I related so much in a way; I’m floored with the writing, the way it all ebbed and flowed, and how each character has grown to be a part of my heart, and I’m so grateful the author pursued writing this book. THANK YOU. It all came at a time where I’ve been grieving someone so close to me so the aftermath of it all felt so real, so tangible! I am currently crying, but grateful I get to read such a wonderful, thought out, and beautiful work.

I got closure I guess.

I missed the characters, I like the way it gave us Phinneas POV and enjoyed the emotions of his closest friends. I cried a lot too. Because I’m nosey, I want more of their lives, but I guess it’s enough for closure… I just hate saying goodbye to characters in a book.

Sad story- great insights

This is such a heartbreaking story but loved the healing shown from everyone at the end. Only wish was that the ending was longer so we could hear more about Autumn. Felt a bit rushed but overall a powerful story.

I miss Finn

I enjoyed the point of view of Finn. it wasn't as nearly as sad as the first one, but it was so nice to give Finn a proper goodbye.

finnys side of the story was kind of expected and already known

it was a pretty good story, kind of a slow read for me, but! i got closure, and then the author gave me more unanswered questions!
i do wonder if there will be another book at some point

a sequel I didnt know I needed

after the first book (and the emotional devastation), I wasnt sure I needed to continue with this story. I was very wrong. The book is an excellent portrayal of the process of grief and helps to redeem characters while giving insights I didnt realize I had missed in the first book. Absolutely loved it! (possibly more than the first book)
