Such a fun book
Format: Hardcover
This was such a cute and quick read. I loved both Arthur and Ben's characters because they were so different, but just so great together. I can really relate to both of them - Arthur's high fast energy and Ben's constant doubt in himself. I especially loved watching how the two of them grew because of the other, without even realizing it.
Watching these two find each other and try to navigate the beginning of a relationship was so adorable and pulled my heartstrings. I love that it wasn't perfect or easy for them, which seemed so real. I also like that this book didn't just focus on this one relationship, but also contrasted to other relationships, both romantic and platonic of their friends. It shows that no relationship is predictable, easy or perfect.
The writing was wonderful and though Arthur and Ben's narratives were very distinct, I couldn't tell that this was written by two authors instead of one. The story flowed so nicely and had so many ups and downs that I was filled with emotion. Though this was not a "traditional" happy ending, it was still a happy one that had me smile. It was a bit open ended so I am content to imagine my own future for these wonderful characters.
