This book I got recommended by a friend because they thought I would like it. But sadly I didn’t liked it as much as I thought. I liked that it had the two perspectives of the main characters and that they were written by two different authors (one of them I really like!). I don’t love or like the story in general sadly. It was cute sometimes but mostly I was annoyed with Ben for thinking about his past instead of focusing on Arthur. And for Arthur not realizing how Ben felt. I couldn’t figure out where the story was going witch was sad, because I couldn’t get up a hope or cheer on them as I would have wanted to! The narrator were amazing! I liked that they were two and how they really felt like the characters. For example the one reading Arthur’s point of view being very exited and talking fast from time to time! That gave a lot for the story to me!

This was a sweet sfw getting together story but it felt a little superficial. Imo this book and the next in the series could probably have benefited from being a single book.
Spoiler They broke up at the end without really exploring the angst of that and then did some timeskips which I'm not a fan of

It was a little slow at some parts. The comedy was pretty good as Dylan is very funny character. Ben and Arthur stand out rightfully so. There were some parts that weren’t exciting and a little anticlimactic here and there. But besides that I enjoyed reading this and this couple. I also wish it went a little more deep with the ideas of universe and fate it brings but that’s just my preference there. Personally in terms of Adam Silveria books, I think I enjoyed “They Both Die at the End” more. For Becky Albertalli this is my first book I read by her so I might update after I read “Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda”.

This is a solid, wholesome, easy to read romcom. Arthur and Ben are both extremely likeable, relatable and realistic, and it’s easy to believe that they are two teenagers falling in love. They are slightly messy but both have good hearts and you are drawn into rooting for them. The side characters are equally well-written and adorable, and the dynamics with their friends and parents are endearing highlights. At times the writing felt like it was trying a bit too hard to sound like teenagers, and I wasn’t convinced by how content Arthur and Ben were with the ending (it very much felt like just an invitation for a sequel!). I don’t think the book was anything extraordinary or groundbreaking but I don’t think it intended to be. It was cute and I enjoyed it enough to pick up the sequel! And as a musical fan, I loved the musical references!
