Holding Up The Universe

Gorgeously written and oh-so-deeply felt - Nicola Yoon; author of Everything Everything and the Sun is Also a Star From the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places comes a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see (and love) someone for who they truly are. Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout. I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be the girl who can do anything. Once dubed Americas Fattest Teen; she is only seen for her weight. Not the girl underneath. Since her mums death shes been picking up the pieces in private; alone with her heartbroken father. But now; Libby is ready. Shes ready for high school; for new friends; for love and for every possibility life has to offer. Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin too. Be charming. Be hilarious. Dont get too close to anyone. 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. When Jack and Libby meet; they discover that the more time they spend together; the less alone they feel.
