What If It's Us
by Becky Albertalli, Adam Silvera
"Tons of foot traffic keeps splitting us up, but we always make our way back to each other, not letting strollers or group selfies keep us apart. When I get his hand next, I keep him close and I don’t want to let go.Not tonight.Not ever."
Realistically its more of a 4.5 but it was SO cute i am rounding it up to a 5.
listen, I'm not about instalove, but this, although technically is that, it didn't feel like it. I think Ben&Arthur chase the possibility of it, the chance the universe gave them; things don't feel rushed in a bad way at any point.
I really liked the writing style, it resembled what i knew from both authors. There were definitely some more cringy moments, that were very YA but like... tone it down slightly, guys. However the characters were pretty great, and the over the topness becomes just part of the characters personality, and you stop caring. Even Dylan's.
The thing everyone references are, well, the references. i do enjoy pretty much everything that was referenced heavily, but even so they did get too much on points - not necessarily this-page-features-5-references but more of a there's - been-a-constant-#-of-references-for-the-last-10pages-we,get,it. It anything it removes the impact of the referencing in some other bits that use it really well.
The ending was so bittersweet i would have loved to see them ending together, no matter how unrealistic that is, but i have this weird respectable feeling towards the characters for the maturity of the decision. Also open ended endings fucking kill me. I already have their old life planned in my head, no one can convince me otherwise, and thats half the reason that quote is up there.
