If He Had Been With Me
Laura Nowlin
I wasn't with Finn on that August night. But I should've been. It was raining, of course. And he and Sylvie were arguing as he drove down the slick road. No one ever says what they were arguing about. Other people think it's not important. They do not know there is another story. The story that lurks between the facts. What they do not know—the cause of the argument—is crucial.
So let me tell you...
This is a romance book with an incredible twist. It's a classic "girl/boy next door" story, but with an incredible, heart-wrenching approach. Readers, get your tissues--you're gonna need them. Finny and August have a complicated relationship. While they used to be inseparable as children, when Finny kissed August in middle school, she didn't know what it meant or how to deal with it. Ever since then, they've drifted apart and now walk on eggshells when together.
But deep down, August knows the truth. She loves Finny. She wanted that kiss. But Finny has a girlfriend. August has a boyfriend. Life just doesn't seem to bring these two together...When they finally have their moment, it's shattered...irreparable. It's gut-wrenching. The love these two keeps the reader on edge. You want them to get together, but you also know they are both really good people who refuse to hurt their current friends and significant others.
The tiptoeing around the two teens is agonizing-- it's like watching your favorite Rom Com and KNOWING the main characters will get together, but suffering through all the trials and tribulations that get them to that point, thus making their relationship even MORE romantic. Nowlin knows what she is doing. You have to check this book out!
