Despite having a great set of friends and boyfriend in Jamie, Autumn’s regret over the loss of her friendship with Finn is clearly apparent. Also they hung out with friends who were on opposite sides of the spectrum to one another, so were seen to never mix or interact with one another. Despite their mothers being best friends, and being neighbours, there was always that awkward tension between them when they spent “family time” together. Autumn and Finn had been best friends forever, they did everything together, until middle school, that they fell apart for some reason or another. If He Had Been With Me deals with the story of what ifs. So it came as no surprise that when the ending did finally come, I found myself choked up all over again. Despite knowing this I continually tried to bury this awful fact at the back of my mind, I kept trying to make myself believe that the author would change the course of the story and that maybe she was just playing with us. The story opens with the most heart breaking chapter, it gives you an insight into how things end. It was a story which I knew how would end, but I was utterly mesmerised into reading because of the beautiful heart rendering prose. It’s a story which deals with issues of friendship, first loves and family in the most raw and intense way I have come across in a long time.

What they are really about is, and please pay attention to capitalization here, People and Life. Shepard’s works are not just feats of narrative pyrotechnics from a guy with a big nonfiction library. Heck, his story in the Vice Fiction Issue a couple of years back was set in the Cretaceous ocean.īut what’s always truly surprising about Shepard’s work is the amount of emotional commitment he gives to each story, wherever and whenever it’s set. In lovingly researched stories and novels, he traverses the globe and glides through history in such a way that reading through his collected output, you’re as likely to encounter ancient Greeks or discontented American teens as you are WWII bomber pilots or Chernobyl technicians.
