HOLDING UP THE UNIVERSE PB B

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 America s Fattest Teen , she is only seen for her weight. Not the girl underneath. Since her mum s death she s been picking up the pieces in private, alone with her heartbroken father. But now, Libby is ready. She s 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. Don t get too close to anyone. Yes, he s got swagger, but he s also mastered the art of fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack has a secret: he can t recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him. He s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything, but he can t understand what s 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.
