A review by saarahnina
Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven
Did not finish book.
I liked this book but after a while, I felt like I was forcing myself to read it. You can already forsee its ending, and nothing truly makes the journey getting there seem worth it... So why bother?
Update: I completed this book (some time after marking it as DNF) for no other reason than to see how Jack confronts his family and friends, in regard to his face blindness (prosapognosia). The ending and the 'friendship-turned relationship' seemed too fast but also inadequate. The friendship itself seemed lacking. Besides the two protagonists' issues, and the interesting portrayal of prosapognosia, I can't remember what I liked about this book.
31st May: DNF
10th-12th June: resumed & finished.
