This was fine, even good in places, but nowhere as good as the first one.
I was hesitant to read this, because, even if I was frustrated with the ending of What If It's Us, I thought it was good ‘cause slight spoiler happy endings doesn't necessarily mean the characters have to end up with a specific person. It's okay to have a good life without having a partner.
I know the characters are teens, though older teens than in WIIU, but there was just too much unnecessary drama - you know the kind, 30 seconds of communication would have cleared a lot up.
It seemed like the authors wouldn't let any of the characters be left behind, so in the last 50 pages or so, EVERYTHING is tied up nicely, they all get their happy endings, yada yada. I don't mind a happy ending, but it's just too cutesy when done like this.
oh how these characters have such a special place in my heart, they're so unbelievably real and messy and relatable. i feel so seen in these books my heart aches
One day I hope to find a love as deeply connected as Arthur and Ben. I didn't want this book to end and yet it had the most perfect ending that left me in tears.
honestly wanted to like this book. however, feel the first would have stood way better as a stand-alone. this book seemed unnecessarily long, lots of filler content and yet a rushed plot line. the first while not the best either, it had potential but this one falls short on that
