Katie Wilson asked Laura Nowlin:

Have you ever considered writing a sequel to “If he had been with me” telling the story from Funny’s perspective. I just bought this book a few weeks ago and I’ve almost finished it for the 5th time. It is just such a good book and the storyline is understandable and it could easily relate to people my age, i love it and would LOVE funny’s side! would you consider writing that?

Laura Nowlin First of all, thank you for reading and letting me know that the book touched you; it means the world to me. Second, I'm sorry, but I will never write anything else in Autumn's world. There simply isn't anything more to say.

As you reread the book, keep in mind all of the things that Finny reveals to Autumn the last night of his life; I knew all of those things as I was writing the story, and if you keep those things in mind as you read, you'll see lots of hints about Finny's true feelings that Autumn doesn't pick up on.
Again, thank you for your question. I'm sorry to disappoint, but on the other hand, what are the odds that the story I would write from Finny's POV would match what you have in mind? Sometimes, less is more.
