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…

Hey, so…I’m upset. I read this book on a long car trip today and the only reason it warranted a 2-star rating from me is because it was able to evoke emotion in me and get me talking about it and the HORRIBLE decisions these characters make in this book. I will never condone the behaviors these characters exhibit. And the entire ending sequence is just one giant trigger warning and a string of long-winded hypotheticals.

A YA romance about love, loss, and missed chances. The writing is choppy in a way that feels real and authentic, making it easy to get emotionally pulled in, even if I didn’t fully connect with the characters. The story builds slowly, full of drama and longing, but the ending felt rushed and frustrating. It was more of a shock twist than a meaningful conclusion, making the whole story feel a bit pointless. Probably won't continue with the next one.
