Ramona fell for Sam the moment she met him. It was like she had known him forever. He's one of the few constants in her life, and their friendship is just too important to risk for a kiss. Though she really wants to kiss him...

Sam loves Ramona, but he would never expect her to feel the same way-she's too quirky and cool for someone like him. Still, they complement each other perfectly, both as best friends and as a band.

Then they meet Tom. Tom makes music too, and he's the band's missing piece. The three quickly become inseparable. Except Ramona's falling in love with Tom. But she hasn't fallen out of love with Sam either. How can she be true to her feelings without breaking up the band?

"Educators and librarians looking for fast-moving, interesting plots, in-depth characters, and meaningful themes need to add this one to their shelves."-VOYA praise for If He Had Been with Me" 

So this book didn't have much of a plot it was sort of a glimpse into the lives of three pretentious teens. I totally agreed with Emmalyn with the way two of the characters were so busy judging and trying to be different that they ended up being the cliche's they wanted to avoid.

I also don't find the way the adults reacted to the news of the three way relationship realistic, especially when the characters mentioned that the parents are pretty traditional.

Overall I wanted to strangle two of the three point of view characters and I didn't care
