Laura Nowlin

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.

If Only I Had Told Her

"It basically is. Maybe you are the two stupidest people on earth who somehow don't realize you're in love with each other,

Or I could find a way of thinking about Finn that doesn't hurt.

I don't know how to do that. Everything about Finn being gone is so wrong

Sylvie pauses and then says carefully "There’s always things that we could have done differently. What matters is what we do now?"

"Everyone always says they're fine. Everyone can't be fine all the time. We all just pretend it's true."

I still can't believe that this is how humans get made, how every human was made. I always imagined that it would feel more magical. If this experience were a novel I was writing, it would be more sci-fi than fantasy or romance.

They’re also the only things you'll be able to control. The world’s gonna fuck with your kid no matter what. All you can do is teach 'em to brush their teeth and love themselves."
