What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli, Adam Silvera

4.0

If I'm going to feel something, I want to feel it.

This book was so adorable!!!

I loved Arthur and Ben and I loved them together and every little nerdy aspect of this book. It was so cute. But the ending kind of let me down just because I wanted an epic get together and it was more open and “What if?” which I get. I understand it’s more realistic maybe and kind of goes with the book’s main concept but I REALLY WANTED THEM TOGETHER.😭

Ben and Arthur’s relationship evolved so beautifully (except the end, I’m still mad they’re not together even though they are best friends). They fell in love so sweetly and I was grinning the whole time.

I loved all the other characters in this book (except Hudson or Harriet because I didn’t feel like I got to know them for too long). Dylan was hilarious and I love his relationship with Ben and just the whole dynamic between Ben/Dylan/Samantha. Just like I adored the friendship between Arthur, Jessie and Ethan. Everyone was just so cute and relatable. I loved how they all interacted.

I haven’t read anything by either author before (which is crazy, I know, their books are everywhereeee) but now I’m really excited to! I really enjoyed the writing style of this book.

Also this book was so relatable??! There were all these little things that the characters did that I do too and it just felt so nice to see it.


If anyone’s looking for a cute book to devour, please read!!!
