Holding up the universe | jennifer niven

From the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places comes a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see someone - and love someone - for who they truly are.

Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed Americas Fattest Teen.

But no ones taken the time to look past her weight to get to see who she really is.

Since her mums death, shes been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief.

Now, Libbys ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for EVERY POSSIBILITY LIFE HAS TO OFFER.

I know the part I want to play here at MVB High.

I want to be the girl who can do anything.

Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin too.

Yes, hes got swagger, but hes also mastered the art of fitting in.

What no one knows is that Jack has a secret: he cant recognize faces.

Even his own brothers are strangers to him.

Hes the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything, but he cant understand whats going on with the inner workings of his own brain.

So he tells himself to play it cool: Be charming.

Be hilarious.

Dont get too close to anyone.

Until he meets Libby.

When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game which lands them in group counseling, Libby and Jack are both angry, and then surprised.

Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel.

Because sometimes when you meet someone, it changes the world - theirs and yours.

Jennifer Niven delivers another poignant, exhilarating love story about finding that person who sees you for who you are - and seeing them right back.
