(3) YA Former "America's Fattest Teen" Libby Strout has finally lost enough weight to go back to school, only to immediately find herself at odds with popular Jack Masselin, who has a secret of his own: he has prosopagnosia (face blindness). Themes of seeing and being seen resonate throughout the novel, with an alternating narrative that effectively captures both Jack's and Libby's unique perspectives.
