By Jennifer Niven
Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed “America’s Fattest Teen”, but no one has taken the time to look past her weight and find out who she really is. Following her mother’s death she has been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief. Now Libby is ready: for high school, for new friends, for love.
Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin too. He has swagger, and he has mastered the impossible art of giving people what they want and fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack cannot recognise faces — even his own brothers are strangers to him — so he tells himself to play it cool: be charming, be hilarious, do not get too close to anyone. Until he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game that lands them in group counselling and community service, they are both furious, and then surprised: the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel.
