What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera

December 8, 2019 by Caitycat Leave a Comment

“I believe in love at first sight. Fate, the universe, all of it. But not how you’re thinking. I don’t mean it in the our souls were split and you’re my other half forever and ever sort of way. I just think you’re meant to meet some people. I think the universe nudges them into your path.” Arthur is staying in New York for the summer while interning at his mom’s law office. While out getting coffee one day, he runs into the boy of […]

CBR11 Bingo Rainbow Flag square. This is a collaborative book written by two authors who have had individual success in the Young Adult market. Arthur and Ben meet cute at a post office when Arthur follows a cute guy who is trying to mail a package to his ex-boyfriend.

Leah on the Offbeat – Fun Visit Back to Creekwood

Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

May 12, 2019 by Rachel Leave a Comment

Finished on March 26, took 2 days to read 3 stars on Goodreads, actually a 3.5 Genre: Young Adult Rating 4/4 Young Adult Leah on the Offbeat is a follow up novel to one of my favorite books from last year: Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. I devoured Simon in one night, and immediately watched the movie (not as good as the book but still fun). So I was very excited to visit the characters from the point of view of Leah, one of […]

What If It’s Me

What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera

January 4, 2019 by Jenny S 1 Comment

I have to preface this review by saying that I haven’t read anything by either Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera though I did watch (and enjoy) Love, Simon.  The premise of this YA novel is cute as is its origin story.  The two authors didn’t know each other but their debut novels were sold and published at about the same time and they connected and bonded over e-mail and social media.  They decided soon after to collaborate on a novel and this is the result. […]

I mean, I don’t want to bust out the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ again, but I guess I just did.

What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera

December 11, 2018 by narfna Leave a Comment

I feel like I can’t really even muster up enough energy to review this. It was okay, not bad. I just didn’t really enjoy it all that much. Parts of it were very cute, and then parts of it were just there. I guess I just never really felt Ben and Arthur’s connection, it was just told to me over and over again, amidst a staggering amount of dramadrama, which I do not like. Ben is a NY native who has recently broken up with […]
