What If It's Us

Description

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?

Plus don't miss Here's to Us! Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera reunite to continue the story of Arthur and Ben, the boys readers first fell for in What If It's Us.

“¿Y si fuéramos nosotros?” es una de las historias más sinceras que leí. Desde el final hasta la división de la novela, todo parece algo tan real.
En primer lugar adoro cómo intercalaron los narradores entre capítulo y capítulo. A lo largo de la lectura podes conocer tanto a Ben como Arthur desde su propia personalidad. Cabe destacar que nunca se convirtió en una lectura tediosa o aburrida.
Definitivamente es el mejor libro si alguien quiere salir ...read more

This books is almost missing a part to me. They meet and then need to re-meet, they have a few awkward dates, they are in love. Like what? They go from horribly awkward dates to being in love? There needed to be more time with them actually liking one another without "being in love".

Ben sucks in the beginning and I love Arthur. Then Arthur gets so jealous and needy and ugh. Hope the sequel is better.

So cute. I loved how the book showed both perspectives. It was honest and raw.
