If Only I Had Told Her

By: Laura Nowlin

Narrated by: Tyler Darby, Gina Rogers

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.

A great companion novel

I love this book, it was a great companion to the original book. I do wish that Finny’s section has be longer but otherwise a great title.

Such a Great Book!

This book provided me with the closure I needed! This is a great story. An absolute emotional experience but one I am glade I went through.

The ache

The ache of a heartbreak. FInny’s part broke me; his last few moments with Autumn. Jack’s part obliterated me completely. The way he felt was so real because I’ve been through all those feelings. I love that Autumn matured through this. Overall this book was the closure we needed.

it was beautiful

I absolutely love this book... Definitely a tear jerker. I wish it didn't have to end!

Why does Finny sound like a 36yr old man?!?

I loved the story, it was a great pairing to the first book and filled in a lot of holes from Autumn's story... but these were teens and I couldn't get over the voice of Finny. :( It wasn't a teenage boy reading it, therefore I just couldn't get onto it like I did with Autumn's book. It was almost creepy to me. Don't let anyone tell you the narrator doesn't matter, unfortunately it killed it for me on this one.

I got closure I guess.

I missed the characters, I like the way it gave us Phinneas POV and enjoyed the emotions of his closest friends. I cried a lot too. Because I’m nosey, I want more of their lives, but I guess it’s enough for closure… I just hate saying goodbye to characters in a book.

This tugs the heart strings

Surprisingly emotional and touching. Good performances, but I think the three narratives should've been read by three readers instead of two. The story sucks you in... There were only a few times when it was obvious that the author was female speaking through a male perspective. A solid recommend and excellent follow up... I want to keep visiting these characters and see how things play out in their lives

Left wanting more.

I fell deeply enthralled into the story at the very beginning. I am however left feeling disappointed that there wasn't more. I felt like it was rushed a little bit.

Different from what I expected

I was afraid that this book would be the same exact book as if he were with me just told from the male perspective. It absolutely was not. It touches into the past and into the future as well. Couldn’t stop listening.

Quality story and narrators

Narrators voices made for a pleasant listening experience, and the story content flowed well enough though I did lose interest slightly at some points.
