An enduring classic, If He Had Been with Me by Laura Nowlin delves into the complexities of teenage relationships, love, and regret. This powerful reissue of the beloved New York Times bestseller is a heartrending tale that explores the haunting question of missed chances, leaving readers to ponder what might have been.

Autumn and Finn were once inseparable, sharing laughter, dreams, and a profound bond that seemed unbreakable. However, as they grew older, life nudged them onto different paths. Autumn now has her boyfriend Jamie and a close-knit group of friends who provide her a sense of belonging and comfort. Meanwhile, Finn has become the magnetic boy at school, the one everyone wants to be around.

Despite their drifting apart, an undercurrent of unresolved feelings and 'what ifs' lingers between Autumn and Finn. Every time their paths cross, Autumn is reminded of the deep connection they once shared and the persistent, nagging thought that perhaps they are destined to be together. But as the summer days wane and August approaches, life is set to change forever, forcing Autumn to confront the profound impact of their separation and to imagine a life that could have been if Finn had remained by her side.
