Idk how any kid can live up to 16 years without their parents not recognizing they have prosopagnosia.

They way this book is written is also good, easy to understand, simple language well explain things. To show he’s not a coward, he accepts the challenge reluctantly and is rewarded by a punch in the mouth from her. If people don’t like it I’ll be like Libby and prove that just because your big doesn’t mean it should affect friendships and relationships! However, after years of homeschooling after her mother’s death, now Libby’s ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for every possibility life has to offer. He’s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything in new and bad-ass ways, but he can’t understand what’s going on with the inner workings of his brain.A major problem I have with this authors work in general is that the characters are incredibly one dimensional. to fall in love with each other and it's so blatantly obvious even if the characters have next to no chemistry and are "instaplaced" with each other - there's your problem right there. You’ll read teens who actually sound like teens and have their share of dickish moments and you’ll get to experience a relatable first crush rather than instalove and laugh out loud when Libby says things like: “I want to lean in and get a whiff of him and rest my head on his should or maybe make out with his neck” while slow dancing with a boy. R. Martin please stop publishing, you've never been a dragon or a woman so I think you need to stop writing about them.

this is clearly an attempt at imitating quirky-girl diction, NOT A SUGGESTION THAT HER BEING OVERWEIGHT MAKES HER NOT A PERSON. But also the main character 'fat-shaming' herself, because of her insecurity, as a direct result of the bullies and other factors. He had a lot of growth by the end, but ultimately I still feel Libby deserves a better guy than him. Jennifer Niven delivers another poignant, exhilarating love story about finding that person who sees you for who you are - and seeing them right back. But then a few chapters later he says that the song “Sexy Back” is something that should be played when he walks somewhere.

He goes through life putting on a front to try and keep his condition under wraps, but each and every day at school is a struggle when he can't be sure who is who.

And yes, they help each other to some extent, but mainly, and most importantly, they do the work themselves. It wasn't that the story was bad, it's just that--after reading All the Bright Places--I have such high regard of Jennifer Niven that I didn't want this to ruin it.Following her mom’s death, she’s been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief.

This book is really interesting, because at the heart, it's a romance, but Jack and Libby have their own individual stories and struggles, too. I was willing to pick this book up despite my experiences with "All The Bright Places" (which I didn't care for either, but I did applaud some aspects of the novel in the aftermath of the overarching read). I mean, I've been left completely gutted by Courtney Summers and Lauren Oliver's narratives before, but in ways that made me feel like I identified with the weight of the character's struggles and situations, and to me, the characters they crafted were dimensional, well-thought out, and kept me reading to see what would become of the characters. Dress it up however you want, but this book is about an unpopular girl who sees herself as unattractive, and a popular good-looking guy who comes to see how said girl is so much better than all those hot, evil cheerleaders he's been dating.To be honest, I was not a fan of All the Bright Places and I wouldn’t have been this curious about Holding Up the Universe had it not been for the controversy that erupted long before its release. Pero cuando el destino lo une a Libby comenzará a ver todo de manera diferente y aceptar lo inimaginable. Now 302 pounds lighter, she's ready to go back to high school and be someone different, someone with tremendous possibilities, new friends, maybe even someone that a guy could fall in love with. I'll try to keep my reaction short and sweet for this book, but in sum: I didn't care for it for a number of reasons. You’ll be Libby and Jack’s biggest cheerleaders as they tackle their inner demons and find solace in each other.
