If Only I Had Told Her

I wanna say that overall I think I liked the first one more, only because the beginning took a while for me to get into. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that this book still had the tears rolling. Great read, so sad, good ending

Nice ending yoga sad situation. Fast paced. Easy quick read recommend reading book 1 first. Great characters. Highly recommend thus read

I read this book in one sitting in the middle of the night it was so addicting and scaring. I was scared about jack and finnys pov because autumns felt like home. But they were amazing. Finny was died off to soon in this book. I wanted more of him. I thought we got this book to get more of him. If this is the end of finny and autumn I am sad. Before I wasn’t sad because it felt like the end the scar was healed until you ripped the bandage off and now I’m struggling to put it back on. I want more of Finnys point of view when he was with Autumn in high school. I want more of Autumns point of view because she thinks just like me. The charterers changed Finny didn’t. Jack I’m not sure. But autumn definitely did. I don’t know if I like it for the better or worse yet. I wanted to know more about the misfits. I know no one cares about them anymore but they consumed the majority of the first book and were so close and tight knit it felt so real. I want more of how finny felt when Autumn claimed the table back after the war, how he felt after seeing the photo of him and Autumn hidden under the sock drawer, I want more. I need more. But soon I’ll think I have enough and I do. I just feel as this wasn’t the way it was supposed to be. It was the way it was mean tot be but not suppose to be and I hate that. I hate it so much. In the first book I believed that Autumn should have killed herself but after this book I was glad she didn’t and wouldn’t because of the baby. But then I realized finny would never be with the baby so what was the point. It doesn’t feel right to not have Finny alive. It doesn’t feel right to say finny is dead. I thought this book was supposed to heal me but it didn’t and I don’t think anything could. This book was the much more depressing than ‘if he had been with me’ by miles. But at least I know I am happy because autumn is happy because she has a piece of finny with her. I just always wanted autumn and finny to be happy and I guess they are now; finny watching over at autumn and his daughter.

I did not read "if he had been with me" as I didn't know this was part of a collection so my review is just based on having read this as a standalone book. Pros: the writing was great. Easy to read and descriptive. The story is told from the points of view of three different people and I feel like the writing was a little different and tailored to each character to match the way they think and the things they say. The different perspectives were interesting to read and I liked that it wasn't three views in the same timeline, it was three different timelines, each one picking up where the previous one left off. Cons: a bit boring honestly. My favorite was the first third of the book that was told from Finn's perspective. It had the most interesting storyline and I was excited to see what came next. The next two thirds of the book were a little boring and kind of dragged. There wasn't much of a plot, just characters coping with what happened at the end of Finn's section of the book. Overall an easy read and interesting enough. Not sure I would recommend.

I love this book! it came in perfect condition

I am so sad....like there were so many parts that made me reflect. Jack made my heart weep. I actually loved this book but I actually needed more of Finny, I felt as if there was just so much more to him than what we got. The love he described as being oxygen my heart literally skipped a beat when he said that. I felt so bad from the first read and I was looking for closure I did get some but I wanted more. Too bad that he is died. I understand Jack so much.....I have the same thoughts as he does when a relative dies and when I die I wonder if someone is going to mourn me as he did Finny. Like the narrative where he was wondering what happened to cause Finny to crash was great and I thought it would have been expounded on but it wasn't. I blame Sylvie, she was being a big distraction and she knew that unbuckling her seatbelt would have made him distracted. As Jack said he was a careful driver. So it was a chain of unfortunate events caused by her stupidity. The thing that made me unhappy as well was Jack ending up with Sylvie. Like why couldn't he have met someone in college. Why her? What I did like was showing progress on Autumn and life after Finny and her suicidal attempt. I loved how both moms helped her and her reconnecting with friends. When someone is depressed I think that is very significant in bringing them out of that poor reality, letting them know someone was there. However I think that part was a bit too long and a bit drawn out. Though everything was indeed covered. I wished she would have had a better ending a happier one. Her child could have been healthier but I think her attempt to kill herself is what caused her baby to have a hole in the chest but I am assuming that the child will get better and heal as the doctor was positive. All in all definitely a good read. I am satisfied and would definitely recommend but it is still a 4-star read.

undoubtedly one of the best book written. it is so sad, and full of awkward teenage romance, written BEAUTIFULLY, matching the cover - which, by the way, is stunning. 10/10 reccommend.

This book definitely made me cry, it was so good. Hard to put the book down.
