melissatucker 's review for:

Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven

3.0

This is a cute YA book. It is a quick read, but I think All the Bright Places was better. Although I like Libby and her determination, the resilience and maturity seems a little far-fetched. I would recommend it to my students because the ideas are important, and I want them to feel empowered and empathetic like Niven’s characters.
