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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Whether you’re a diehard romantic or a hardened realist, What If It’s Us totally gets you. When Arthur and Ben meet by chance one magical summer in New York, it’s like something straight out of a rom-com. But despite all the sparks and butterflies, they can’t seem to get together for an actual date. As one planned meetup after another falls apart, we feel the same push and pull these relatable teenage characters do: Was their picture-perfect meeting fate or is their string of broken dates a sign that the universe doesn’t care? This sweet and hilarious story unfolds in alternating first-person perspectives. The wide-eyed Arthur’s chapters were written by Becky Albertalli and are narrated with major exuberance by Booksmart’s Noah Galvin—while the cynical Ben’s were written by Adam Silvera and are narrated with the perfect touch of dourness by audiobook newcomer Froy Gutierrez. Cowritten by two of the biggest voices in young-adult fiction, What If It’s Us is a perfectly imperfect romance that anyone can relate to.
