Holding up the Universe by Jennifer Niven

This is a story about bullying and about hiding who you are.

A combo of horrid bullies and the passing of her mother causes Libby to become  America’s fattest teen.  She was so fat she had to be cut out of her house and a film crew were there to see it.

It’s not long after she restarts school that people discover who she is.

Jack is hugely popular but is hiding a terrible secret. He has prosopagnosia or face-blindness and has trouble identifying even his family members.

A dual narrative with a slow burn love story - I LOVE this book!

This is a book for discussing #bodyimage and #bullying. Video link here.
