Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed
'America's Fattest Teen'. But no one's taken the time to look past her
weight to get to see who she really is. Since her mum's death, she's
been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her
heartbroken father and her own grief. Now, Libby's 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, 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. So he tells himself to play it cool: Be charming. Be hilarious. Don't 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.
