About the Holding Up the Universe Graphic Novel (Paperback Novel)

Now in paperback! From the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places comes a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see--and love--someone for who they truly are.
Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout. But no one's taken the time to look past her weight to get to know who she really is. Following her mom's death, Libby dealt with her grief in the privacy of her home. Now she's ready: for high school, new friends, and love.

Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin, too. He's charming, and he's mastered the art of giving people what they want, 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. So he tells himself to play it cool: Don't get too close to anyone.

Until he meets Libby. When the two end up in group counseling, they're both angry--and then surprised. Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel. Because sometimes when you meet someone, it changes the world, theirs and yours.
