If Only I Had Told Her
Young adult · ages 13–12 · 750L · 2023
A quiet, honest book about grief and regret that doesn't sentimentalize loss — the protagonist doesn't get closure, just learns to carry it.
If He Had Been with Me
Middle grade · ages 10–14 · 780L · 2019
A surprisingly mature exploration of regret and friendship for the upper end of middle grade—realistic about crushes, alcohol, and drift without being preachy, though the ending is heavy.
