What If It's Us

What If It's Us

Adam Silvera

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A New York Times, USA Today, and Indie bestseller! Critically acclaimed and bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera combine their talents in this smart, funny, heartfelt collaboration about two very different boys who can’t decide if the universe is pushing them together—or pulling them apart. ARTHUR is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it’s that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it. BEN thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn’t be on his way to the post office carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend’s things. But when Arthur and Ben meet-cute at the post office, what exactly does the universe have in store for them . . . ? Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated. Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited. But what if they can’t nail a first date even after three do-overs? What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work and Ben doesn’t try hard enough? What if life really isn’t like a Broadway play? But what if it is? What if it’s us?

    This was so cute, and it made me laugh. But beyond that, nothing really stuck out for me in this book.

    I'm not going to judge how immature the characters were, because - duh - it's about two 16 year old boys. But I was unable to get as involved in the plot as I normally do and I wasn't really able to get too involved with the characters, either, and I feel like the immaturity might have had something to do with that? I could also be wrong and it could just be because YA contemporary romance (or any contemporary romance, for that matter) might just not be my thing.

    And that's alright. I still enjoyed listening to this book and that's all that really matters. It just wasn't anything that will stick out in my mind for the future.

    Annoying people. Samantha is the only one I can get on board with. And maybe the two girls from the office
