WHAT IF IT'S US

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 storefor them?Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated.Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited.But what if they can''t quite nail a first date . . . or a second first date . . . or a third?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 show?But what if it is?Best friends Becky Albertalli and Adam Silveracombine their talents in this smart, funny, and heartfelt collaboration about two very different boys who can''t decide if the universe is pushing them together-or pulling them apart.
