β¦ Synopsis
Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed βAmericaβs Fattest Teen.β But no oneβs taken the time to look past her weight to get to know who she really is. Following her momβs death, sheβs been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief. Now, Libbyβs ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for EVERY POSSIBILITY LIFE HAS TO OFFER. In that moment, I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be the girl who can do anything.
Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin, too. Yes, heβs got swagger, but heβs also mastered the impossible art of giving people what they want, of fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack has a newly acquired secret: he canβt recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him. Heβs the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything in new and bad-ass ways, but he canβt understand whatβs going on with the inner workings of his brain. So he tells himself to play it cool: Be charming. Be hilarious. Donβt get too close to anyone.
Until he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school gameβwhich lands them in group counseling and community serviceβLibby and Jack are both pissed, 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.
