“Tender,
tragic, and unforgettable — a love story that could have been.”
A hauntingly beautiful story of love, loss, and the “what ifs” that linger long after the last page. Laura Nowlin’s If He Had Been With Me series explores the fragile line between friendship and forever — where first loves never fade and destiny doesn’t always play fair.
Told with breathtaking emotion and raw honesty, this series captures the ache of growing up, the sweetness of love found too soon, and the heartbreak of chances never taken. It’s the kind of story that stays with you — long after you’ve closed the book.
