What is the importance of the Alejo apartment in the novel, What If It’s Us?

A small, almost cramped living space, the Alejo apartment is full of things with high sentimental value. With less of a focus on monetary worth, the decorations are more eclectic, but also feel more meaningful. Arthur says that it feels more like a home. This is the place where Ben feels most secure in his identity. The Alejo apartment contributes to Ben and Arthur's story when Arthur's family comes over for dinner, and when Arthur and Ben first get physically intimate.
