If He Had Been With Me by Laura Nowlin

Two best friends find out what they really mean to each other. Finn and Autumn grew up doing everything together — they are even next door neighbours. And while they grow apart in high school, they’re still there for each other when it counts.

It’s not an obvious ‘remedy’ book, but it has themes of grief, breaking up and parents breaking up. If you’re processing a similar experience, you might share some of Autumn’s feelings. In her case, her friendship with Finn carries her through her low points and even depression. For these two, first love is as powerful as it’s cracked up to be. 

“I love him in a way I cannot define, as if my love were an organ within my body that I could not live without yet could not pick out of an anatomy book.”

This is a book about #friendship and could be helpful to you if you’re struggling with #heartbreak #depression or #parentsbreakingup
