I loved this book!!
Format: Kindle
I have a love/ hate relationship with Albertalli. I really liked Simon VS The Homo Sapiens Agenda and The Upside of Unrequited with their adorable characters and charming/ hilarious/ sometimes heartbreaking plots. I soared through these books and would recommend them to anyone- especially John Green fans. Then there was Leah On the Off Beat, which mostly angered me. I didnโt like her, or the way she acted toward her friends, how the love interest played itself outโฆ. the book just pissed me off most of the time, with just barely enough good to keep me moving forward.
What If Itโs Us Brings out the best of this author- maybe due to the collab? The characters are purely magical even as they are each incredibly messy and neurotic in their own ways. I think itโs their imperfections that made them so fabulous. The premise was fantastic, the play between characters was perfect, and you saw a lot of character growth which is always a plus for me. My favorite character was definitely Dylan, the over the top best friend. I felt like he was the perfect foil for Ben. For me, this was the best book of the authorโs to date. I loved it! My only objection, and itโs purely personal, I felt like the ending was too open. I want closure! And I want it to be EPIC. Still, five stars all the way.
On the adult content scale, thereโs some language, drinking, sexual innuendo and light sexual content. Itโs not too crazy, and I would still give this one to a youngish teen. I give it a three.
