HOLDING UP THE UNIVERSE UK PB

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.

This book is not a typical "boy falls in love with girl". This book is about being vulnerable with the people who care about us and being able to ask for help.
I have read this book after I have read "All the Bright Places" by the same author, and let me tell you one thing – it's not a book you want to miss out on.
Libby and Jack have people around them thinking they know the type of people Libby and Jack are, but underneath the surface they hold so many secrets and feelings that they have no idea how and with who they should express them. Until they find one another.
This book will make you feel all the feels and I couldn't recommend it more.

הספר הזה הוא לא ספר טיפוסי של "נער מתאהב בנערה". זה ספר על לחשוף את ה"אני" האמתי שלך בפני האנשים שאכפת להם ממך ולדעת לבקש מהם עזרה.
קראתי את הספר לאחר שקראתי את "כל המקומות המוארים" של אותה המחברת, ותנו לי להגיד לכם דבר אחד – זה לא ספר שתרצו לפספס.
האנשים בסביבתם של ליבי וג'ק חושבים שהם יודעים איזה מן אנשים הם ליבי וג'ק, אבל מתחת לפני השטח הם מחזיקים בבטן כל כך הרבה סודות ותחושות שהם לא יודעים ויכולים לבטא כלפי חוץ. עד שהם נפגשים.
הספר הזה יגרום לכל הרגשות הכי עמוקים שלכם לצוף על פני השטח ובאמת שאין לי עוד מילים כדי לבטא עד כמה שאני ממליצה עליו.
