Background of the Author

“BECKY ALBERTALLI and ADAM SILVERA were strangers when their agent sold their debut
novels, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and More Happy Than Not, within days of each
other. Two weeks later they read—and obsessed over—each other’s books, and two months
later the idea for What If It’s Us was born over email. Both authors were named Publishers
Weekly Flying Starts and are Lambda Literary Award nominees and New York Times
bestsellers. Becky lives in Georgia and Adam lives in New York, and they live together in each
other’s text messages.”

Adam Silvera  is a New York Times Bestselling author of young adult fiction, best known for his
novels They Both Die at the End, What If It's Us, and More Happy Than Not. He was born and

where he worked at a literary development company, a creative writing website for teens and as
a book reviewer of children's and young adult novels. He lives in New York City and is tall for no
reason. MORE HAPPY THAN NOT is his debut novel.
