A retelling of Laura Nowlins' best-selling books "If he had been with me" and "if only I had told her"
August 8th will forever be embedded into my mind as the saddest day in my bookish life.
Laura Nowlin may not be able to bring Finny back but I sure as fuck can.
Autumn had a dream.
She had begged him to stay and he didn't.
Because of that, she would never get to hold on to what she left slip through her fingers so many times.
She's not going to let that happen again.
Dreamworld or not Autumn and Finny weren't giving up on what they had created and it turns out it was a lot more than the two had originally thought.
With new challenges finny and Autumn fight for something they know is meant to be.
But now that they've found each other it seems that a greater being is eager to keep them apart.
Can the young couple fight against it or is god really against them?

Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.
If You Love Me
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023Complete

Yet, he can't seem to allow himself to accept what he feels, until an unexpected tragedy happens in his life. And he sees that, through this tragedy, Alaya is there and willing to help him cope. But there is still something in the back of his mind telling him he is not ready yet. So what will he do? After losing her father at a young age, Alaya grew up never knowing what it is to love a man other than him. She was never the type to allow a man into her heart and she has always stayed away from that temptation so that she could focus on herself and heal from the emotional wounds losing her father has left behind. Alaya never expected another man to remind her of what that unconditional love felt like, until she met Michael. And he turned her world upside down. After a short lived whirlwind romance, she finds out why she never wanted to love a man the way she loved her father, all while longing for another day in his life... Authors Note: Hey loves, please be gentle. This was my first attempt at writing a novel instead of my usual poetry. I know a lot of the content may be cringey and in desperate need of editing, however, I don't have that type of patience lol. So enjoy it for what it is...a little something from someone who knew nothing at the time.Complete
