This definitely wasn't my favourite work from Jennifer Niven but just like most of her works, it was relatable and real.

As someone who has always struggled with their weight and has had their fair share of bullying because of that, I was able to relate to Libby in the way. Libby was such a strong and independent character and I really loved that.

It was really interesting to read about Jack's character and his prosopagnosia. It's not something that I have seen portrayed in a book before.

For the most part, I enjoyed this book in the way that I felt its main element is that you're not alone and you don't need to change to make others like you. There were just a few moments that had me feeling confused on my feelings towards this book.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this so I think I'm going to stick with a three star rating until I decide otherwise.
