Beschreibung

A New York Times, USA Today, and Indie bestseller!
Critically acclaimed and bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera combine their talents in this smart, funny, heartfelt collaboration about two very different boys who can’t decide if the universe is pushing them together—or pulling them apart.
ARTHUR is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it’s that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it.
BEN thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn’t be on his way to the post office carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend’s things.
But when Arthur and Ben meet-cute at the post office, what exactly does the universe have in store for them . . . ?
Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated.
Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited.
But what if they can’t nail a first date even after three do-overs?
What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work and Ben doesn’t try hard enough?
What if life really isn’t like a Broadway play?
But what if it is?
What if it’s us?
Plus don't miss Here's to Us! Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera reunite to continue the story of Arthur and Ben, the boys readers first fell for in What If It’s Us.

So eine süße Liebesstory 😭❤️

Arthur und Ben haben mein Herz erobert. Die Geschichte ist so einfach und angenehm zu lesen. Man Fieber die ganze Zeit mit den beiden mit, vor allem als sie sich am Anfang versucht haben zu finden 😭❤️ Ich habe das Buch auf englisch gelesen , was einem einfachen und flüssigen Schreibstil hat. Ich kann es nicht erwarten den zweiten Teil zu lesen ❤️

Tolles Buch💚

Es ist ähnlich zu allen Adam Silvera Büchern die ich bis jetzt gelesen habe . Süßes Buch Kann man mal lesen 💚📖 Besonders für Leser/innen für die „Am Ende sterben wir sowieso“ und „ Der Erste der am Ende stirbt“ zu traurig sind :)

Tolles Buch💚

Süße Story, tolle Charaktere :) Habe mir die Protagonisten zwar etwas älter als 16 vorgestellt, aber die Geschichte war trotzdem toll. Es ließ sich sehr schnell und flüssig lesen und auch das Ende hat mir gut gefallen, wenn es auch etwas anders war, als erwartet.

Love it!

Durch Zufall habe ich die Reihe 'What If Its Us' bei Thalia gefunden und war direkt verliebt. Ich fand das Konzerpt einfach so gut, dass sie sich nur einmal kurz gesehen haben und dann beide jeweils nach dem anderen gesucht haben und dann auch noch in der riesigen Stadt New York! Zu Beginn ist es etwas langsam und ich habe ein wenig gebraucht um in die Story rein zu kommen. Man durchlebt einfach mit Arthur und Ben jede einzelne Sekunde, weil es so schöner Jugendlicher Leichtsinn ist, den jeder von uns in seiner ersten Liebe hatte. Auch die Charaktere rund um die Beiden konnte man einfach nur lieben!! Bin so froh dieses Buch gefunden zu haben. ♡

Love it!

Sehr tolle Charaktere und gutes pacing! Das Ende hat’s für mich aber versaut

Diese Geschichte ist einfach Zucker! Die beiden sind so wunderbare Bookboys und haben ihr Happy End echt verdient, weshalb ich mich schon sehr auf Band 2 freue.

Ich habe es geliebt! Ich habe dieses Buch einfach nur geliebt! Deshalb bin auch nur so durch knapp 500 Seiten geflogen und habe sie an einem Tag gelesen. In dieser Geschichte wird eine tolle Liebesgeschichte erzählt die einem mitreißt und einem auch das Herz zum Hals schlagen lässt. Ich kam irgendwann sogar gar nicht mehr dazu mir gute Stellen zu markieren. Mehr kann und will ich gar nicht zu dem Buch sagen. Ich bin nur wirklich sehr sehr verliebt!

I love 1 (one) good gay love story. I really craved one. But it was kinda cheesy. Maybe the cheesiness was intended by the authors because nobody ever wrote a cheesy love story with two gay YA. But I nevertheless enjoyed it and it really deserves 4 stars.

When I read the part about Arthur and Ben meeting at the post office, where Ben is about to mail a box with all the stuff that belonged to his ex-boyfriend, as a promo in one of Becky Albertalli's other books I really wanted to read the whole story. It sounded like a cute and easy read, with interesting (or at least likeable) characters, and without any of the gay (coming out) angst we get in so many queer YA stories. Unfortunately, that was about the only part of the book I really loved. So, they get separated about five minutes into meeting for the first time and then have to decide if they want to seriously look for each other, and then to actually search for each other. Which I really liked, with all the misdirections and almost-meetings. But after that's done and they find each other again there's pretty much no plot – except the obligatory misunderstanding that occurs every five pages. And I even could have let that slide, because it is a romance novel, after all, if there would have been something to their relationship, their character development, their goddamn personalities. I know a lot of people thought that search was too slow or creepy, but I honestly think the book would have been better if they would have explored this part of the story more and actually ended with the two of them finding each other again. Ben and Arthur actually going on dates was such a let-down for the most part because they clearly just didn't work and had nothing in common that I would have preferred an open ending. <spoilerEspecially when an open ending is what we're getting anyways. Anyways, my main problem is probably that I just didn't like Arthur. I liked that he's an optimist, that he's a bit extra, that he's apparently a total nerd, but oh my god, give me a break with all the drama and just talk to people without using a Hamilton reference and listen to them for once before assuming the worst. I know they're teenagers, but this is beyond the usual teenager drama, angst, and series of unfortunate miscommunications. I liked Ben for the most part, and I think one of the reasons was that we got to know and simply see a lot more of the people in his life. (I might have low-key been rooting for him and his ex-boyfriend Hudson getting back together at some point, which kind of speaks for itself, I guess.) I still feel like the most fleshed-out character of the entire book was his best friend Dylan. If I took anything away from this book it's that we're apparently come so far that instead of focusing on the gay best friend (TM) of a main character who has like two lines in the entire story I can now stan the straight best friend (TM) side character without feeling too bad about it. One last point: Wow, the pop culture references. It's not so much that there were too many of them for me, it's more like there were too many of the same few topics/fandoms. I've never watched or listened to Hamilton, but after reading this book I definitely never want to. (Also, and this is a serious question, is Harry Potter really still such a big deal for people that age? I mean, I grew up with this fandom, the last book was published when I was 18, and that's been... a while.)
