About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager feels like an outsider due to their appearance or an invisible neurological difference. It is a deeply empathetic story about Libby, who is returning to school after being housebound due to grief and her weight, and Jack, who hides the fact that he has prosopagnosia (face blindness). The novel explores body positivity, the heavy weight of social labels, and the bravery required to be seen as you truly are. While it deals with bullying and the loss of a parent, the narrative is ultimately empowering. It is best suited for older teens (14+) due to its mature handling of high school social dynamics, romantic themes, and realistic language.
