Rubi Onisor a dat nota:
Wow, această carte a fost incredibilă. Nu pot să cred că am amânat atât de mult. Vreau să mă lovesc în față, ar fi trebuit să o citesc de îndată ce a ieșit, dar nu știu ce este în neregulă cu mine. Oricum, Becky și Adam ar trebui să scrie în DUO-uri de acum înainte. Această carte a fost o combinație perfectă a tot ceea ce aveți nevoie într-un roman de ficțiune/romantic YA. Aceasta este o poveste perfectă despre relații, prietenii și multe altele. Există o mulțime de culturi amestecate cu această carte și nu pot trece peste modul în care Adam încearcă întotdeauna să-și aducă rădăcinile în scrisul său. Îmi place să citesc despre cultura portoricană, văzând că, din moment ce sunt dominican, majoritatea lucrurilor noastre sunt cam asemănătoare. Ambii autori au făcut o treabă grozavă în dezvoltarea poveștii, ne-am văzut excelent la Ben și Arthur și niciunul dintre personaje nu mi s-a părut prost scris. Mi-a plăcut absolut relația pe care a avut-o Ben cu cel mai bun prieten al său Dylan, până la punctul în care mi-aș fi dorit să am un Dylan, lol.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
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 quite nail a first date . . . or a second first date . . . or a third?
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 show?
But what if it is?
Best friends Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera combine their talents in this smart, funny, and heartfelt collaboration about two very different boys who can’t decide if the universe is pushing them together—or pulling them apart.
