    Critically acclaimed and bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera combine their talents in this smart, funny, heartfelt collaboration about two very different boys who can’t decide if the universe is pushing them together—or pulling them apart. ARTHUR is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it’s that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it. BEN thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn’t be on his way to the post office carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend’s things. But when Arthur and Ben meet-cute at the post office, what exactly does the universe have in store for them . . . ? Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated. Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited. But what if they can’t nail a first date even after three do-overs? What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work and Ben doesn’t try hard enough? What if life really isn’t like a Broadway play? But what if it is? What if it’s us?

    Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera reunite to continue the story of Arthur and Ben from their previous rom-com. Ben has survived freshman year but feels stuck; his classes are tedious, his part-time job with his father is worse, and his best friend Dylan has been acting strangely. The only bright spot in Ben's life is his writing partner, Mario, who not only teaches him Spanish but also shares kisses that inspire Ben to dream bigger. As Ben contemplates his future, he can't shake thoughts of a boy from his past. Meanwhile, Arthur returns to New York City for the first time in two years, eager to make his mark in the theater world as an intern. Although he misses his dependable boyfriend, Mikey, he believes their relationship can withstand the distance. When Ben unexpectedly reappears, Arthur tries to convince himself that Ben's happiness with someone new means he should move on. Yet, as both boys navigate their lives, they keep crossing paths, prompting them to wonder if the universe is hinting at a possible second chance.
