What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli, Adam Silvera
3.0

3.5 Stars. What if it’s Us is such a cute and fun read. It’s a story focused on a summer romance between Ben and Arthur in New York City. They have to face problems trust, new relationships, change, self-acceptance and understanding what love means personally.

I enjoyed reading this book. In particular, the references to pop culture, social media, and the use of the modern ‘lingo’ made the story all the more believable and relatable. And in all honestly, really freaking funny.

While I didn’t find this the most amazing book in the whole world, I will say that I had a an enjoyable experience reading the whole book (enough to spark interest in reading more by the two writers). Young adult is not as relatable to my thoughts, mentality and values as it used to be and that’s okay! Either way I really liked it. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys light fluffy romances.
