I cried and then I cried again. This was the perfect follow-up to If He Had Been With Me. 

I will eternally be dead inside if we never get to jump back into this world from their daughter's perspective. 💔

This is the author second book. The 1st book gave you most of the details you already about the characters. Through the book gives you parts of the details you know and some interesting parts. It’s told in 3 point of view Finn, Jack and Autumn. 

Finn’s POV; it’s most talk about how he feels and thinks about Autumn just like how she describes him but a more detailed way how a guy/man  would describe a girl/women . He tells what happens when he picked up Slyvie the airplane and what they were arguing about and how the accident . I’m so angry that Slyvie survived but also she doesn’t remember what happened. 

Jack’s POV: talks about him grieving over Finn he is taking really hard being so close to him . A lot of the things they used together reminds of Finn, eventually gets talk someone which helps him. 

Autumn’s POV: Finn’s death hits Autumn the hardest it was really hard to read her point of views .i feel really bad how it affected her. I’m glad later she gets the help she needs and surrounded herself with people who love her and wants her raised the baby .  

You have to read for yourself to understand and see what happens.

This book is split up into three parts Finny’s, Jack’s, and lastly Autumn’s. I enjoyed seeing other perspectives but I wish we also got Sylvie’s or that we saw more of her in general I felt it would have matched the theme of healing this book has since she has a lot of healing to do herself.
