설명
As the summer unfolds, Arthur and Ben navigate the complexities of a burgeoning relationship sometimes riddled with miscommunication and the weight of past traumas. They connect over shared experiences and a mutual love for storytelling, but the realities of their limited time together loom large. Each moment they share is precious yet pregnant with the knowledge that summer always ends.
Through a beautifully woven narrative, the authors highlight the joys and trials of young love, exploring themes of hope, identity, and the courage to open oneself up to vulnerability. They delve into the idea that even the most fleeting interactions can profoundly impact one’s life and perspective.
In the mosaic that is New York City, where each corner holds a new adventure, Arthur and Ben learn to cherish what they have, even as they grapple with the bittersweet nature of their connection. It’s a story that resonates with anyone who has ever loved—and lost—during the summer, reminding readers that sometimes, the moments that scare us the most can lead to the most beautiful beginnings.

It's exactly what I expected a cute little romance book, but the ending was kinda meh
WOW!! What a story!! I loved the whole universe aspect of this book and it honestly was such a great love story! Highly recommend :) I really loved how the whole thing started. This whole story could have never happened if they didn't search for each other. I love how real this book felt. Dates aren't perfect. Sometimes we say the wrong things. Some times we do need do-overs. So I love that Arthur and Ben go through these trials and tribulations. There are some heartbreaking moments too though. Romance and friendship isn't perfect. There were points where I was screaming at the pages telling the characters to just listen to each other. It breaks my heart that they didn't stay together but who knows, maybe the universe has other ideas :)Quotes I loved:I believe in love at first sight. Fate, the universe, all of it. I just think you're meant to meet some people. I think the universe nudges them into your path. - Pg. 8"Opening-montage-of-Up sad? Or Nemo's-mom-dying sad" - Pg. 25But now I feel like I'm auditioning for Broadway with no training and an empty resume. Unprepared and unqualified and totally, totally out of my depth. - Pg. 59But Arthur? I barely know him. I guess that's any relationship. You start with nothing and maybe end up with everything. - Pg. 148What it feels like to be wanted by someone who sees you for who you are. How the world - the business of Times Square - can feel like it's falling away when you're with the right person - Pg. 281"Arthur, the universe just got the ball rolling. We made us happen" - Pg. 405Arthur, I know you're the one with the grand gestures and no chill. But the truth is, no one deserves a grand gesture more than you. I'm not as creative as you, but this is me going the extra mile. And making you walk an extra mile. I love you - Pg. 411What if there's a do-over down the line for us? What if we end up in the same city again and pick up where we left off? What if we go as far as we once hoped we would, and boom, happy ending for us? But what if this is it for us? What if we never get to kiss again? What if we're there for each other's big moments, but we aren't at the heart of those big moments anymore? What if the universe always wanted us to meet and stay in each other's lives forever as best friends? What if we rewrite everything we expect from happy endings? Or ... What if we haven't seen the best us yet? - Pg. 433
