One of my friends gave me this book to read a few weeks ago. One of the author's wrote the story "They Both Die At The End", which even with that big spoiler, I quite liked!
What If It's Us is the story of Arthur and Ben, both of who are trying to figure out their life. Arthur is in New York City just for the summer and is hoping to find romance. Ben has been born and raised in New York and is a bit more jaded, he has just ended a relationship that also took away a friend group. When Ben and Arthur meet at the Post Office, sparks fly for both of them. While Arthur is optimistic about not only finding Ben after they get separated, but also sees the potential for love. Ben thinks about Arthur, but has a hard time believing that even if they meet again, that anything will come of it.
Throughout the story, Ben and Arthur explore what it means when you are in a relationship with someone who has very different outlooks on life.
I thought this story was great! I loved both Ben and Arthur. There were parts in the book where I laughed out loud with some of the situations and thoughts both of them had. I also loved the fact that this book is about two boys in a relationship, it was refreshing to read a story about two people looking for love and they just happened to be boys.
