However, the boys have one important thing in common-they’re both willing to believe in the universe’s bringing them together. Ben, on the other hand, is a Puerto Rican, Catholic, native New Yorker recovering from a recent breakup who is self-conscious about attending summer school and writes a novel in his spare time. A rocky series of do-over first dates proves that they are different in many ways-Arthur is a white, Jewish, show tune–loving, Southern boy with ADHD who has never been kissed and dreams of attending Yale. Through mutual efforts and a healthy dose of coincidence, the boys find each other again. When Ben and Arthur cross paths at a post office but fail to exchange contact information, they both regret the missed connection. Fan-favorites Albertalli ( Leah on the Offbeat, 2018, etc.) and Silvera ( They Both Die at the End, 2017, etc.) join forces in this tale of a New York City summer romance. ![]()
