Publisher Description
Love Nick and Charlie from Heartstopper?ย Meet Arthur and Ben!ย From INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING authors Adam Silvera (They Both Die At The End) and Becky Albertalli (Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda)ย comes a long-awaited collaboration about two very different boys who can't decide if the universe is pushing them together or pulling them apart.
Soon to be a feature film, adapted by the creator of 13 Reasons Why!
Meet Arthur and Ben.ย
ARTHURย is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, itโs that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it.
BENย thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldnโt beย carrying a box of his ex-boyfriendโs things.
But when the boys have a chance meeting at the post office, they leave wondering what exactlyย the universe does have in store for them.ย
What if - in a city of eight million people - they can't find each other again?
What if they do ... and then canโt nail a first date even after three do-overs?
What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work and Ben doesnโt try hard enough?
What if life really isnโt like a Broadway play?
But what if it is? What if it's us?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Authors Albertalli (Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda) and Silvera (They Both Die at the End) team up for a charming, sweet-natured love story between two very different boys. Arthur (written by Albertalli) is in New York for the summer while his lawyer mother works a big case. His family's affluent and Jewish, and he's a Broadway geek and a virgin with good grades. Native New Yorker Ben (Silvera) is Puerto Rican. His family's on a tight budget, he's just out of a relationship, and he's stuck in summer school. Arthur believes in love at first sight; Ben's not even sure he believes in love. After they bump into each other at a post office, then are separated by a flash mob, Arthur searches the New York haystack to find one adorable high school junior. But the course of meet-cute never did run smooth: complications include friends, Ben's ex, cultural differences, and the difficult and confusing nature of love. The authors one known for happy endings, the other for breaking hearts split the difference believably, and it's impossible not to root for Arthur and Ben and their many do-overs. Ages 14 up.

My thoughts on What if itโs us
I started my year off right by picking up a copy of this book, the characters felt real and genuine, once I started reading I found it hard to put the book down, I was constantly immersed in the story, being a visual person it was as if I was in New York alongside the characters experiencing the raw emotion that this book has to offer, at points I was brought to tears of joy and sadness as I could personally relate to characters. Well done to the authors and thank you for sharing this remarkable book. - Conrad Van Der Westhuizen
