What If It's Us by Adam Silvera, Becky Albertalli
Did not finish book. Stopped at 62%.
I really wanted to like this because it was suggested for fans of Red White and Royal Blue, and Boyfriend Material, but this was not it. For one, these characters are teens, while the other books are 20-somethings. And this is not a fake dating or enemies-to-lovers trope.
But ultimately it was just boring. The characters had no chemistry, I wasn’t rooting for them, and their interactions had tumblr-era cringe vibes. Noah Galvin was an absolute treasure as one of the narrators, which is why I stuck it out as long as I did, but the other one really fell flat.
