Finnys POV I feel could have been longer

I never knew I needed a second book to If he had been with me. I loved this book it tackles the monster topic of grief. I felt like I had lost Finn with Autumn. Beautifully written.

This book is kinda hard to rate and review. Like I was very excited and had it preorder when I finished the first however it’s just different the first part is his perspective and then the middle is his best friends after the death and the the last part is autumn after the death. It was nice to see the story continue in some forums but it’s not a full story for anyone. I feel like a continue of story for each character for like more books would have been better. I also just felt the ending just like comes it almost felt unfinished like it was just over definitely no dramatic or even like ending I felt. This story definitely reflects on the grief and I found more depressing than the first one because of that but it made it feel more realistic so I did admire that.

Wouldn’t say I hated this book wouldn’t say I loved it. Nice to know how the story continues but just felt unorganized and unfinished or incomplete
