If He Had Been with Me: The Tiktok Sensation

Product Information

Some readers may have got frustrated with Autumn’s decisions, but if I were in her shoes I don’t think I would have done it any other way.

Finn is hangin with the popular crowd-cheerleaders and football players and they ignore each other all the time except it's hard since their mothers are really close friends and they even eat together. As Autumn deals with the ins and outs of high school, family difficulties, and depression, Finny is always on her mind. The stories were timed right as to show their significance into why that memory had a specific impact to why Autumn was the way she was today. I kept going back to the front of the book to make sure it wasn’t an Advanced Reader Copy but sure enough, it was read and approved by an editor.

Autumn does not get her license, but she benefits from Jamie receiving his as well as Finny, who not only gets his license but an expensive sports car from his father. Junior year brings about a lot of change, most notably the securing of driver’s licenses among both Autumn and Finny’s friends.

It was raining, of course, and with his girlfriend, Sylvie Whitehouse, he glided through the rain in the red car his father had given him on his sixteenth birthday. If He Had Been With Me was on my 'can't wait' list for months and I couldn't resist and read it the moment I got my hands on it.While Finny and Sylvie argue over their relationship in his car, he loses control in the rain and Sylvie is thrown from the car. At the end, when Nowlin reveals why Finny should have been with Autumn all along, readers are sure to feel the ache of life's capriciousness.
