About this listen

An achingly authentic and raw portrait of love, regret, and the life-altering impact of the relationships we hold closest to us, this YA best seller is perfect for fans of Kasie West, All the Bright Places, and Dear Evan Hansen.

If he had been with me, everything would have been different....

Autumn and Finn used to be inseparable. But then something changed. Or they changed. Now, they do their best to ignore each other.

Autumn has her boyfriend, Jamie, and her close-knit group of friends. And Finn has become that boy at school, the one everyone wants to be around.

That still doesn't stop the way Autumn feels every time she and Finn cross paths, and the growing, nagging thought that maybe things could have been different. Maybe they should be together.

But come August, things will change forever. And as time passes, Autumn will be forced to confront how else life might have been different if they had never parted ways....

I felt like the book was drawn out with unnecessary detail at times. Then the ending was rushed which is a shame

Initially i didnt think i’d like it but i actually loved the way its written, as youre listening out of nowhere you suddenly realise just how invested you are in these characters… i found myself wanting to listen at every spare moment, even if it is predictable in parts….as it turns out the beginning doesn’t ruin the ending.. the only downside is now i feel i am grieving because the book is over…

Duality of happiness in sadness- great listen!

I am balling my eyes out as I finished this book. I knew it would end this way but I also had to finish the book. I can remember how it feels to fall in love and how nervous you can be when you overthink it. As sad as this book is there is poetry in it. Sad things can be beautifu and I know this myself. The book started off slow but it definitely hooked me and I couldnt stop listening. Very welll narrated and I just loved the narrators different voices. She was fantastic.

A beautiful sad love story.

To be fair, it was meh.
I felt like it had a lot of potential, but fell flat with predictable story lines. The girl and boy grow up living next to one another, loving each other at different times. Girl gets cheated on by a different partner, the girl and boy get together finally… and tragedy hits!

I did like the short chapters though.

The popularity around the book drew me in
