If He Had Been with Me by Laura Nowlin | Kindle Edition – YA Romance Bestseller

If He Had Been with Me is a beautifully written and emotionally powerful young adult novel by Laura Nowlin that captures the bittersweet ache of first love and the haunting question of “what if?” Autumn and Finny were once inseparable—next-door neighbors, best friends, soulmates in the making. But as high school began, they drifted apart. Finny became part of the popular crowd, while Autumn stayed quiet and on the fringes. Still, their connection lingered in the background, unspoken but ever-present. Told through Autumn’s lyrical and introspective voice, this story traces the subtle moments and missed chances that define their relationship. As memories and emotions resurface, Autumn can’t help but wonder: what would have happened if he had been with her? Perfect for fans of deeply emotional reads like The Fault in Our Stars or Eleanor & Park, this novel will stay with you long after the final page. It’s a story of love, fate, and the heartbreak of realizing too late what truly matters.
