Warm and heartfelt story of two teenagers dealing with their own issues: fatphobia and not recognizing peoples faces. Really good story, easy read, and fun descriptions!

This book was so emotional and caring, I fell in love with Libby’s character and strength. I loved the split point of view throughout the book, which made me so excited for the next persons pov. I also loved the diversity and familiarity of characters in this book. This was a great book journey for me that I would want to experience all over again.
