Autumn and Finn's journey through adolescence pulses with the heartbeats of first love and the stinging reality of growing apart. As childhood companions whose paths diverged in high school, their bond is underscored by the constant question, 'What if?' Autumn, tethered to her boyfriend Jamie and a tight circle of friends, watches as Finn transforms into the magnetic figure every peer gravitates towards. Yet their shared history whispers to them, suggesting a different story, one of togetherness that could have blossomed—if only the right choices were made. As summer's end heralds irrevocable change, the narrative elegantly unravels the compelling mystery of what might have been and the events leading to one fateful August night that could alter their courses forever. 'If He Had Been with Me' is a tale of longing, the delicate threads of chance, and the enduring ache of love unfulfilled.
