What If It's Us?
What If It’s Us? by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera speaks from the points of view of two boys, Arthur and Ben, who meet at a post office in New York City, and connect without getting each other’s numbers. We watch on the edge of our seats as Ben and Arthur go to great lengths to find each other.
When reunited, the boys struggle to keep their heads above water in terms of making their relationship work. Through drama with exes, break ups, summer school, and all around general calamity, Arthur and Ben stagger their way to the end of summer, and their own happy ending.
I felt so many things reading this book, I never wanted the story to come to a close. The life lessons I learned through the eyes of Ben and Arthur will never truly leave me. This story made me cry, laugh, relate to the characters, and question the very precepts by which I stand. My life has been forever altered by the things I learned from What If It’s Us. Arthur and Ben and their struggles and triumphs will always be with me. and for that, I am forever grateful.
