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. Review: Intense and emotional. I loved the depth of the storyline. - This is not the first book but it's the first one that I read in this series. I am thinking that was not a mistake. I have always enjoyed reading YA fiction from the male point of view, probably because that is so different from a woman's point of view. And Finneas was such a lovable character - an all around good guy who found himself caught in a love triangle of his own making. Those are also my favorite romances to read because young love is often confusing and felt so deeply. It can be like Romeo and Juliet and sometimes be downright tragic at times. The writing style is one of the hardest to do well, and that is present tense. But it really does make you feel like you are there in the moment as the action is happening. This story gripped me emotionally and kept me reading. I didn't want to stop. The way it was written helped me grieve with the characters. If felt torn the same way that Finneas did when it came to his lifelong love for Autumn. That was so well done, as was the emotional punch in the gut I felt at the end of the first point of view. I cried. Then it deepened even more when in Jack's POV. He had to somehow move on in life without his best friend. I loved getting to know his heart. The regrets, the pain, the joy and the stages of grief were so well done. Then there was Autumn's point of view, which would more closely resemble my own if I were to find myself in her situation. I felt like I knew these characters - like they were real people. They were so complex and three dimensional. As an author myself, I feel like this deep point of view gave me a new and fresh perspective on developing emotion in scenes. I've always enjoyed developing characters, but this was somehow deeper the way it was done. It's an approach to writing that I am looking forward to developing while writing my own novels. One last thought. I didn't care much for the cursing, but it wasn't overly done. And honestly, most guys think and talk like that in the real world, so the point of view made sense. It added to their emotion in the way it was expressed so that was also well done. The author did not focus on what happens to someone after they die. In fact, she didn't mention the afterlife at all. What she did do was show how a person's life can make an impact on the lives of other people who are still living, and in that sense, they will live on despite having died. The characters found themselves often asking what Finn would want as if he was still there, and in doing so, they were honoring his memory. That was a perspective I had not considered before and I found it to be healing. Review: I waited for this book for literally a year...well almost! - 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,253 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Dating & Sex (Books) #18 in Teen & Young Adult Friendship Fiction #21 in Teen & Young Adult Contemporary Romance | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 16,289 Reviews | ## Images ![If Only I Had Told Her: A Heartbreaking Romance of First Love and Loss - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uMF1t16LL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intense and emotional.

Nonstop. There is SO much grief in this book. Not just the immediate, devastating kind, but everything that comes afterward. Watching people try to figure out how they’re supposed to keep living when something completely unfair has changed their lives forever. I also really appreciated the choices Laura Nowlin made with these characters. There were directions I was convinced the story would take, and I’m genuinely glad she didn’t go there. Grief can bond people together in incredibly complicated ways, but that doesn’t automatically mean those people belong together romantically. Sometimes they just need someone who understands exactly what they’re going through. The amount of growth these characters went through was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. But would I trade every ounce of that beautiful character growth for a completely different outcome? YES. Immediately. Give me Finny alive. Give me Autumn and Finny actually getting the chance to have the relationship they waited YEARS for. I don’t want your life lessons, Laura. I want my fictional people HAPPY. I hate unfair endings. I hate when characters finally get what they’ve been waiting for only to have it ripped away from them. And this entire story just feels so unfair. The audiobook was incredible. I genuinely don’t know how the narrators got through some of these scenes. I cannot imagine having to actually perform them and stay in that emotion long enough to record it. I’m still crying as I’m writing this. These two books are going to stick with me for a very, very long time. ## Frequently Bought Together - If Only I Had Told Her - If He Had Been with Me - A Thousand Boy Kisses (Boy Kisses, 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/496670957-if-only-i-had-told-her-a-heartbreaking-romance-first](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/496670957-if-only-i-had-told-her-a-heartbreaking-romance-first) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
