I do not know how a book can cover everything from heartbreak to marriage, but yet this one manages it.
A truely incredible follow up to an already incredible story, one of broken hearts, missed opportunities, and do-overs.
I love how it can recover a teen romance from 2 years ago into a truely beautiful moment, no matter how many obsticles and eye-watering moments lie inbetween.
A true master piece.

When I started reading this book I was already scared of ending it. I loved the first one so I knew that this one could only get better. And I was right. It got so much better. To say it was an emotional roller coaster would be an understatement. I’ve cried and laughed all within seconds of each other. If you thought Dylan was odd/funny in the first book then I’m happy to inform you that he gets even better in the second one. This book has helped me through tough times and cheered me up when I felt like crap. Everyone should read it if they have the chance, it’s truly beautiful.

I really liked this sequel! Do I think it was 100% necessary? Probably not. But I still enjoyed it.
It was a little frustrating to read at times because I feel like the main characters kept going back and forth and didn't quite know what they wanted. I think this is realistic but at the same time it was frustrating to read about.
I really do like the whole idea of the second chance trope. I also liked the coming-of-age themes in this book and the figuring out your identity aspect. I think the ending was a little rushed and out of the blue (especially on ben's side). But i enjoyed it anyway.
I think this is an unpopular opinion but I liked all of the pop culture references. It made me enjoy the book more. Overall, I think it was a really cute story.

This book had me crying happy tears at 1 AM the night I finished it, and let me tell you, I very rarely cry at books, so that means it must be reeeeally good. If you’ve read What If It’s Us (the first book in this brilliant duology), I’m sure you need no convincing to read this next instalment in the story of Arthur and Ben. And if you’re feeling hesitant, let me assure you that Here’s To Us goes above and beyond every expectation you might have for a sequel. It tells the fresh and equally heartfelt story of Arthur and Ben finding each other all over again while paying homage to all kinds of moments and characters from the first book. Seriously, we could not have gotten a better ending for these boys. Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera, you have my whole heart!

Audiobook - 5 hours 3 minutes - I enjoyed this book much more than the previous installment. The characters felt much more well-rounded and likeable (maybe because they were more similar in age to me now), and the plot the book followed felt far less repetitive and immature. A very good sequel.
