Ben's
summer isn't going the way he hoped. Not only is he attending summer
school, Ben has also broken up with his boyfriend Hudson. Now he
finds himself at the post office intending to post a box of his ex's
belongings.
Ben
has a meet-cute with Arthur at the post office, but doesn't get his
name.
Can
Ben and Arthur find each other again?
Contemporaries
are either hit or miss for me and, unfortunately, What If It's Us was
a miss.
I
struggled to connect with any of the characters and I didn't
particularly like Arthur or Ben.
The
plot failed to hook my attention and not much happened. It got to the
point where I couldn't bring myself to read any further.
Knowing
how popular this book and the authors are, I'm very disappointed that
I didn't enjoy this more.
Unfortunately,
this wasn't for me.
