Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven

3.0

I was possibly holding this on too high a pedestal after loving All The Bright Places to pieces a few years ago, but something about this just fell a little flat. It may have been that the passages where characters describe real medical conditions reading a little too much like a passage from a medical textbook or from a blog of someone who does have prosopagnosia. I did still tear through this, despite the ending being obvious from a mile away, but unlike ATBP I won't be rushing back to read it any time soon.
