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.

I was so excited for this book when I heard about it and it did not disappoint :) I really liked the way the story was laid out
even though I don’t usually like one-sides breakups (which happened literally twice cus Mikey and Mario had to be broken up with in order for Ben and Arthur to get back together) and I still didn’t really like that aspect but the rest of the story was great and I’m so happy they got their happy ending :)
. Dylan remains my favorite character and everyone else was great as well :) 
I was not bored at all and would have finished this sooner if I wasn’t reading multiple other books at the same time lol
