What if It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera - 3 stars

[annapi]

Young adult romance between high schoolers Ben and Arthur. Arthur and his family, who are from Georgia, are spending the summer in New York at his uncle's place, and Arthur is working as an intern at the law firm his mother works at. One lunch time he sees a cute boy near the post office and follows him in, but the boy disappears before he can even get his name, let alone number.

Ben is suffering from a recent breakup and is stuck in summer school with his ex. After some digging on the internet fate conspires to lead them back to each other and so begins their relationship.

Overall this one was just meh. Sometimes they were cute, but sometimes both of them were assholes too with all their insecurities. I think the story just went on for too long. Maybe if I'd been a teen, especially a gay teen, I might have appreciated this more, but this was just a mediocre diversion for a day.
