Publisher's Summary

A New York Times, USA Today, and Indie best seller!

Critically acclaimed and best-selling authors Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera combine their talents in this smart, funny, heartfelt collaboration about two very different boys who can’t decide if the universe is pushing them together - or pulling them apart.

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 store for them?

Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated.

Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited.

But what if they can’t nail a first date even after three do-overs?

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 play?

But what if it is?

What if it’s us?

Plus don't miss Yes No Maybe So, Becky Albertalli's and Aisha Saeed's heartwarming and hilarious new novel, or Infinity Son, the first installment in Adam Silvera’s epic new fantasy series, both coming in 2020!

characters you'll actually miss listening too

The outstanding performance done by the narrators of this story breathe life into the kids. Who depending on the listener, might be alarmingly relatable if you are in your early 20s now. From consistent media and name drops to facetiming your best friends whole states away, you can easily sympathize with thier plights and get swept up in thier zest for life and all the amazing things the universe can bring.

Loved this book

A super cute story of the universe getting to individuals together and then getting in their way. I couldn’t put this down, and didn’t. Finished it in a day.

Love this story....

I loved this story. Even though I am a mature adult and this was a love story between high-school / college age guys, it was fun and sweet, and engaging all the way through. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the narrators. Their voices helped me to fall in love with the characters Ben and Arthur. The voices were great and they formed the characters and you immediately knew the personality of Ben and Arthur. Great book.... don't miss book two!

Really enjoyable listen!

I have never read anything by either author previously but as a fan of Froy Gutierrez I was interested to see what he would be like as a narrator. Usually I take my time with audiobooks but I devoured this one in a weekend because I couldn’t help myself from needing to know what happens next. Alternating POV between the two characters with each chapter was really fun and even better that each character had their own unique voice. I loved both narrators!

Definitely hoping that Noah Galvin and Froy Gutierrez will be reprising their roles of Arthur and Ben in the audiobook of the sequel being released later this year!

So Good!

The narrators were amazing. I think they brought a lot to the enjoyment of this book. It's funny, sweet and so enjoyable to listen to. I think these were the best narrators I've listened to yet. Froy Gutierrez should do more book reads, and Noah Galvin brings so much to the humour.
The story is simple but really effective in its interpretation of young love. It's also hopeful and lovely in every way. If you are looking for a love story with humour and a positive message, this is it. Couldn't recommend it more.

A definite must read!

I could not help but be drawn more and more into this novel. The romance, the awe, the humour, the storyline, all of it was so well written. Read it multiple times, I even bought the book. Not to mention the narrators were perfect, expertly took the emotions to the next level. Well done!

Heart warming and real

My first audible download and has spurred me to get more.

This book gave a clear depiction of a non straight relationship that wasn't just about not being straight. It dealt with issues that a lot of teenagers go through when graduating.
