1 " I barely know him. I guess that is every relationship. You start with nothing and maybe end with everything. "
― Becky Albertalli , What If It's Us (What If It's Us, #1)
2 " God, Arthur.” He kisses me. “Te quiero. Estoy enamorado. You don’t even know.” And I don’t speak a word of Spanish, but when I look at his face, I get it. "
3 " Don't do anything Rose and Jack wouldn't do in a steamy vintage car. "
4 " It’s kind of adorable how every minute counts for him. The classic honeymoon stage where everyone feels like they’re riding a unicorn on floating rainbows while drinking Skittle smoothies. But eventually you realize the unicorn was just a horse in costume and now you have cavities. "
5 " An actual date with a boy. This is possibly, definitely the number one best thing that’s ever happened to me. And I have no chill about it. None whatsoever. "
6 " I don’t know if we’re in a love story or a story about love. "
7 " He laces our fingers and shrugs. And I’m dead. I am actually dead. There’s no other way to explain it. I’m sitting in fucking Herald Square, holding hands with the cutest boy I’ve ever met, and I’m dead. I’m the deadest zombie ghost vampire who ever died. And now my mouth isn’t working. It's like I'm stunned into silence. That never happens. "
8 " I believe in love at first sight. Fate, the universe, all of it. But not how you’re thinking. I don’t mean it in the 'our souls were split and you’re my other half forever and ever' sort of way. I just think you’re mean to meet some people. I think the universe nudges them into your path. Even on random Monday afternoons in July. Even at the post office. "
9 " But what if the story should quit while it’s ahead?” “How do you know unless you give the story another chance? "
10 " This apartment isn't home for either of us, but we're home for each other, and that's what makes every small wall fall away so I only focus on him. "
11 " He talks a lot, which I’m fine with, and he’s not good at maintaining eye contact, which sucks because I want to stare at this electric blue eyes. Punch me if I ever compare them to the sky or the ocean because they’re much cooler than that. "
12 " I kiss him and I call him beautiful and I tell him I love him and we go on past that finish line. We laugh and catch our breaths and we peel stickers off each other. No do-over needed. "
13 " The universe wouldn’t get us together for just one summer, right? "
14 " «Posso fare qualcosa?» Chiede Arthur.«Stai qui con me?»«Non vado da nessuna parte.»Passano un paio di minuti senza che nessuno dei due dica qualcosa. Ma ho fiducia che, ovunque si trovi, Arthur è al telefono, a tenervi compagnia. Non se ne va. "

17 " Where the fuck is a Time-Turner when you need one? "
18 " I have this thing where if someone likes me, I feel like I tricked them into it. Like I can't trust it. I'll fuck it up somehow, like with Hudson. "
19 " I can't help it. If I'm going to feel something, I want to feel it. "
― Adam Silvera , What If It's Us (What If It's Us, #1)
20 " I want to hug him, but he doesn't want to be touched right now. Like any affection is going to become a target sign on our backs. Like we'll get punished because our hearts are different "
