What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli, Adam Silvera
4.0
3½ stars, rounded up to 4.
For the most of the book I really loved it, it was between 4.5-5 stars. The reasons I end on 3½ are that, to me, some of the drama felt too forced, and some of their getting back seemed to easy. Also, the ending. It wasn't a bad ending, but it wasn't an ending anyone hoped for.
On the plus side, it was laugh-out-loud funny and it was deeply moving, and Arthur and Ben (and their friends) are all really sweet.
And it really shows how difficult it can be to be together, even if you both want it, because we all carry insecurities and things from our past that hold us back, no matter what age we have.
Not 100% satisfied, but I will definitely recommend it.
