Aunque la historia pierde un poco de fuerza en los capítulos finales, he de admitir que me ha gustado mucho y que la manera en que Adam Silvera y Becky Albertalli lo "cierran" todo es un punto a su favor. Ese final abierto, aunque te deje con ganas de saber a ciencia cierta qué es lo que va a ocurrir con los protagonistas, es el mejor final que podría haber para una novela como ¿Y si fuéramos nosotros?

I like a lot this book, i will give it 4,8 stars

I love the characters and references about musicals, and geek stuff.
I love the friendships, and ben, and arthur, and i love dylan he's amazing, i love the relationships.
I laughed a lot, and cry, and feel that it was so cute.
And I'm not gonna lie i felt so frustrated in so many moments, and i think they're were jerks a lot of times (still love them)

I was scared because i read the final when i was still reading the book and i was terrified of how it was going to end, but i didn't dislike it, i mean, maybe it wasn't what i was expecting but i take it.

I felt like sometimes they were too dramatic, but i kinda get it, and i don't feel like it was bad.
I like all the things about having too much expectations in everything and how that can affect.

I love a lot of moments, and i would read it again (better not feeling the nervousness of not knowing what is going to happen)

No sé ni por dónde empezar porque, por una parte, me ha “gustado” (entre bastantes comillas) pero, por otra, me parece que no es mi tipo de lectura. Desde el principio, he sentido que no empatizaba demasiado con sus personajes y algunas de sus actitudes me han parecido demasiado ¿adolescentes? por decirlo de alguna manera. El humor y las referencias a actores, obras, fandoms y demás pues depende, a veces me funcionaban y, a veces, no. El final es lo que, sin duda, más me ha gustado aunque insisto en que tampoco puedo decir que el resto me haya parecido horrible; ha sido más bien como “meh”. En definitiva, no es un mal libro pero creo que como el género romántico “a secas” no es para mí, lo estoy criticando muy duramente cuando, realmente, la obra es entretenida.

This was such a cute story, full of Harry Potter and Hamilton references that made me smile. It loses one star because I wasn’t a total fan of the ending. I get it, but it just wasn’t what I was hoping for. Still awesome overall.
