Sage, her best friend Charlie and his twin brother Nick, are students at a boarding school, entering their senior year. The whole school is convinced Sage & Charlie are secretly in love. They both have secrets, though. When new student Luke arrives at school, he and Charlie instantly click, while Sage begins to develop feelings for Nick. Sage is worried about what Charlie will think of their relationship, while Charlie is scared of how his connection with Luke will be seen by the entire school.
The boarding school vibes of this book are off the chart! I read books like this find myself wishing I could have a high school do-over. If We Were Us is a great YA for anyone seeking heartwarming romance and true friendship. It doesn't hurt that my favorite rom-com, The Holiday, got a shout out.
I instantly connected with Sage and her relationship with Charlie. Both of their romance storylines are great, but the core of this one is their friendship and the trust that they have in each other.
I was impressed by how the coming out process was handled (saying this as someone who has never gone through that). There was so much love and acceptance from everyone and it just warmed my heart.
Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review!
