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.

This felt like 3 different short stories by following three different characters. Finn's part was fine, it took me a minute to determine where we were in the storyline. For some reason I thought this book would mirror book 1 and follow Finn instead of Autumn. I didn't realize it picks up almost at the end of book 1 and just finishes up the story. I didn't like Jack's part that much, nor did I really feel like it was necessary. It was surprising that he was included, I think Sylvie may have made more sense, but I would have liked this more if it was just a Finn/Autumn split. Autumn's part was my favorite. though I wish I would have gotten closure on what happens to the baby. Of course the baby would have a hole in her heart, Autumn's story was tragic. this book felt more fast paced than book 1, there was a clear divide between the three different POVs
I didn't want to read this book because I was still heartbroken about Finn. I'm so glad someone told me it will heal that. I laughed and cried but felt I was better able to mourn him. It wrapped up a story I didn't realize needed to be finished. Finny will still live in my heart forever. ❤️
While this book wasn't near as perfect as the first, it was an overall good book. I just wish it was a 2 pov where Finny was the most prominent character.
3.5 stars!
