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 quite nail a first date . . . or a second first date . . . or a third?
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 by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera || 6/5
- I love this book SO MUCH. I’m sad that there isn’t any fanart yet.
- It’s very adorable, very cute, and very, very awesome.
- My homework suffered while I was reading this. I kept having to read just one more chapter. And whenever I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about reading it. That honestly sounds like Arthur and Ben when they’re crushing on each other.
- The characters are amazing and you can’t help but fall in love with them.
- The characters are complex and flawed and well-developed and unique and they feel like real people. I’m kinda surprised they’re not.
- The characters make this book. They drive it forward and make it spectacular.
- The magical blend of Albertalli and Silvera’s writing styles is the thing you didn’t know you needed, but you totally need. The separate styles meshed so well. And the ending.
- I was smiling for the majority of the book.
-
- Seriously, that’s hard to do.
-
- No, really. That’s impressive.
-
- I was smiling at the spot-on humor, the characters’ goofiness, or the amazing adorableness of it.
- Dylan. Is. Amazing.
-
- He’s like another Keefe. (For all you peeps who don’t know, Keefe Sencen is my favorite
characterperson. He’s from Shannon Messenger’s Keeper of the Lost Cities.)
- He’s like another Keefe. (For all you peeps who don’t know, Keefe Sencen is my favorite
- I loved the ending. It was inconclusive, but I think it’s better that way.
-
- Also. Just throwing it out there. Sequel?
-
-
- Well, not really a sequel. Like a novella in the future that’s about how everything turned out sparkles and cotton candy and rainbows.
-
- Also. I love the cover. Just look at the awesome watercolor-ness of it.
In conclusion. Everyone, read this! It’s so, so amazing.
