What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli, Adam Silvera
3.0
I think i’m giving this 3.5? The thing is, the end really made me want to rate it higher, but realistically i had a few problems with the book.
Honestly, I found Arthur and Ben to both be not great characters. Arthur was really annoying and immature, and not just in his “extra” personality way. Ben was low-key a dick, but i definitely liked him way more than Arthur.
Yes, their relationship was so cute, and I found myself almost crying, laughing, and smiling ear to ear many times. I just honestly think that the problem is with these two grown adults writing from a 17 year olds perspective.
As a teenager, I can definitely promise you that this is not how teenagers act or how life works at all. Also, I found it extremely cheesy, but that just might be me because I can’t take anything seriously.
