Holding Up the Universe

Everyone thinks they know Libby Stout well, the girl who was once called “America’s Fattest Teenager.” But it never occurred to anyone to look beyond the outer shell to learn its inner world. After the death of her mother in a quiet and hidden from prying eyes home environment, the girl tries to collect fragments of a broken life, part of which was now grief-stricken father and personal experiences. Now Libby is ready for anything new: school, friends, love and every opportunity that life has to offer. “I know who I want to be in Martin Van Buren High School. One who can do what he wants. “

Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin just as well. Yes, he is quite vain and knows how to masterfully fit into any company. But no one knows what secret Jack keeps… because he can’t tell faces. Even his own brothers seem like strangers to him. He’s the kind of guy who can readjust and fix anything, but he can’t figure out how his brain works. Therefore, he sets himself up for a calm attitude to everything that is happening. Be charming. Be funny. Do not get close to anyone.

Until he meets Libby. Two teenagers fall victim to the harsh reality of high school and end up in joint psychotherapy sessions. At first, Libby and Jack are guided only by anger, but then they face many amazing things. The more time they spend together, the less often they feel lonely. Because sometimes when you meet someone, the world starts to change. His world and your world.
