What bothered me is just how cruel Libby's classmates were (even if I know this fact better than I'd like to admit, even all these years later), how unending that cruelty was, and how she really wasn't willing to tell anyone what was going on. Niven's honest writing shares a story of friendship, confidence, strength, and identity--and it's not one to be missed . I loved how much detail was put into the side characters – Jack’s little brother Dusty was by far my favourite character. A major problem I have with this authors work in general is that the characters are incredibly one dimensional.

He’s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything in new and bad-ass ways, but he can’t understand what’s going on with the inner workings of his brain. I know that these things can be all consuming but there's a HUGE difference between it being all consuming and it being your entire personality and story. I guess it’s actually from one of Jennifer’s interviews videos on YouTube, where she “dropped” some of her favorite books randomly on the streets, near the telephone booth, or beside a statue in London.Any images belonging to the author should be regarded in the same way as the previously mentioned written content and should not be used without permission. I remember feeling at one point like the book should be coming to an end, and yet there were almost another hundred pages to go. And Libby has to decide whether pursuing everything she wants without worrying about the consequences is actually worthwhile, or if she should just do her best to hide in the background. atbp was one of my favorite reads of last year and the book that got me into reading, the book that fills the first posts of my bookstagram account. Written in short chapters of alternating perspectives, this is a thoughtful exploration of identity and self-acceptance, with commentary on overcoming adversities that will hit close to home.

Adrian Harrington Rare Books deal in a wide selection of literature, modern first editions, leather bound library sets, children's and illustrated books and fine and rare antiquarian and old books in all fields.to fall in love with each other and it's so blatantly obvious even if the characters have next to no chemistry and are "instaplaced" with each other - there's your problem right there. The only thing I find heartwarming is the fact that Jack has rooted for her since the day she was cut out from her bedroom and carried by a crane. But we ask for diverse and complex books/characters, then moan when a 'controversial' topic is raised. From the description, it sounded like All the Bright Places meets Bone Gap -- which sign me the fuck up!

Like in All the Bright Places, these characters are only their physical traits or illnesses and that is extremely harmful.Since her mum's death she's been picking up the pieces in private, alone with her heartbroken father. This is a worthy addition to any young adult collection; the story is engaging and difficult to put down. if you're offended by the synopsis, that's cool, i can see why since body image is a touchy subject. And though I absolutely adored the romance between Libby and Jack, and how they affect each other, I was equally invested in their individual stories.

It’s just a badly written “love story” where 2 characters act like idiots and then “fall in love” despite there being no chemistry. I’m actually really proud of myself for finishing this even though I did skim read the last 25% of it. Following her mom's death, she's been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief.
