What If It's Us

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.

I strongly believe that Arthur is my other half and that we'd be the bestest of buddies. My inner Hamilton and Broadway monster has been fed by all of the references to the musical and I'm satisfied ; ) Also Dylan is literally my spirit animal and the bestest friend anyone could ask for <33 I also LOVE the character development in this book, especially with Ben's character. I'm rooting for his character on his journey to learning how to love himself. This was not a cliché novel about two people falling in love but on the realities of falling in and out of love with someone, with things not always panning out the way we think it should, distinguishing between love and friendship through trial and error then starting all over again. "Infinite do-overs." "I like that," he says. "It sounds like us." I truly enjoyed this read, so much so that I'm moving right on to the sequel. Happy reading!

Ugh absolutely love this book so much! It was such a wholesome story about the two of them. Although i kind of feel like they were moving a little too fast with their relationships, but hey it’s fictional love story and we love that😚 The ending does kinda irritated me though
