Welcome to Litsy!

This was a pretty good book. I liked how the author used two completely different people, and formed a love story between them. Libby and Jack help each other get through their hard times, and I liked how detailed this book was, and how the author expressed the characters thoughts and feelings.

#BookReview

Libby, an overweight girl and Jack, a misunderstood a-hole learn that communication would solve their problems. They did not really learn it but this is a case where if they told someone their problems, the book would have been ten pages long.

I still enjoyed the cheesiness. ☺️

😭❤️ why has nobody talked about this book!?! It was so beautiful! Exactly the kind of story I needed and such a great portrayal of these painful experiences. It was written with passion, told a beautiful tale, and even though there was so much happening, it never distracted from the storyline.

The book I have DNF-ied
After reading All the bright places that was a good read, I expected the same from this one. But to my great regret, even after trying to finish it, I was only able to get to page 253 before I gave up.
The main characters are Jack and Libby.
Jack, who has Prospogania (not having the ability to recognize familiar people's faces)
Libby was the fattest American Girl.
They main characters had no chemistry.

Great quick read!

I love Niven‘s style of writing. It‘s like a delicious dessert. Always fluid, easy, and she has tons of drive for her characters. Lots of feel good moments about self-acceptance in this one. This was my #bookspin for April. #bookspinbingo

I am bleary eyed and exhausted because I read from page 30 to 148. I should have known that I would fall in love with these characters like I fell in love with Violet and Finch. The loneliness, the anger, all of it captured in these cosmic moments. Jack and Libby bring the same realness to the table. Now to get through the work day so I can go back to reading. #idratherbereading #yabooks #ireadya

First line: “I‘m not a shitty person, but I‘m about to do a shitty thing.” This is my #bookspin for this month. Not really in the mood for contemporary, but I appreciate this opening line so here we go!

I aspire to be as amazing as Libby is.

All the feels

Just not for me.

This was another audiobook I have had for a while and decided to put on my October #bookspin to get through it.

While I always appreciate inclusive representation and unique plots, the execution of this one was a little clumsy. I didn‘t find the characters were strong enough to support that. Ultimately I think this landed a bit too far in the YA realm to land for me, maybe that‘s on me though.

Was tearing up at work because I just loved this book so much!! Was sad to see it end, yet was happy with the ending. :)

"People are shitty for a lot of reasons..."

Such an apt quote for today's society. :(

Truth!!!! 💙☹️

Oh, this was just wonderful ♥️.

This is mostly bc of Jack & Libby, who were extremely huggable, A++++ narrators. Niven‘s writing continues to create a decent balance between poetic & narrative, though it dips into cheesy once or twice (as usual). The ending was definitely cheesy, but by then I was too into it to care. ★★★★☆.

#currentlyreading | All the Bright Places gave me a ton of feels so I‘m expecting a lot out of this one!

Currently 👓📖 #bookstoscreen

I‘m really enjoying this book so far! I love the dual perspectives, especially Jack‘s. It‘s really interesting learning about prosopagnosia.

I decided I‘m going to try and reorganize my bookshelf in a different way every day this week to see which is my favorite. Today I tried a rainbow bookcase. I LOVED how it turned out!

🥰

Prosopagnosia, Loss, body issues, friendship and love. Niven takes on these weighted issues with such ease and skill, you can't help admire her.

There really should be more YA books like these. It teach and entertain all at the same time.

I did like All the Bright Places more, but this was still very good.

@TheAromaofBooks
This is my #DoubleSpin for April.
That's all 3 of them!

I got 4 beautiful hours of reading in today.
I think I've learned the trick. As soon as i start to loose interest in one book I put it down and switch to another one.

#EasterExtravaganza total time 13h6m
Not sure I'll make it to the 30hours I planned on, but at least I'm reading again. 😅

Book 34 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jack a guy with prosopagnosia fall in love with Libby a girl who is overweight. Nobody knows about jack but he opens himself to Libby. School trouble leads them to become friends.

Started on my #DoubleSpin book

"I'm not a shitty person, but I'm about to do a shitty thing."

This book was okay at the beginning but it moved a bit to slow for my liking. I do think it is a good book but might not be for everyone.

I love that Libby includes these little details now, thanks to the new update. ♥️ Really enjoyed the book, and will certainly be recommending it... also, going to have to google face blindness, cause I find that fascinating.

Summary and information below. :)

What a nice, encouraging ans captivating YA book! I liked it very much!

I started yesterday on my way to work. Since then I can barely stop reading^^ it's easy, teen- English which fits perfectly the age of the characters. It's also making it effortless to read which is exactly what I need right now :D

Every girl should know Libby Stout, a girl who figured out how to live boldly and with no boundaries as well as everyone should read about Jack and understand face blindness with it widely reaching effects. This book teaches us to be a little more kind and a little more understanding, to celebrate our differences and embrace who we can become when we stop hiding. One more thing, I love Libby!

WOW! This book about an unlikely pair was so difficult to put down! I thoroughly enjoyed the overarching theme that you don‘t ever really know what other people are going through. Easy, fun, meaningful read. 5/5 🌟

Charming YA story in which Jack and Libby each have their own secrets to keep as they navigate high school, but they just can‘t seem to stop thinking about each other.

Read May 16-19
Book 28/55

A great YA pick! I absolutely loved Libby. She could have easily been written as a broody, self-loathing type of teen, but she was the exact opposite of what you might expect. The descriptive language was lovely. I‘m going to put Niven‘s other YA novel, All The Bright Places, on my summer reading list.

"Life is too short to judge others. It is not our job to tell someone what they feel or who they are. Why not spend some time on yourself instead?"

One of the best written books I‘ve read, I enjoyed the plot and the characters with their faults. Only book I‘ve ever cried reading.

Absolutely loved this book! Didn‘t want it to end!

what I know about loss:

Just a photo from #litsywalkers today. By the time I shot here, I had been walking around an area for over an hour, right through a district that has suffered from adversity to such a degree that I struggle to see how this could exist in the United States in 2019. Then I saw this and it broke my heart again.

Hi, guys. What‘s your weekend read?
I decided to grab this book by Jennifer Niven because it stayed for so long on my bookshelf. I read her previous book ‘All the Bright Places‘ couple of years ago and I loved it, so I don‘t know why I still haven‘t read this one. I believe I will enjoy it. Fingers crossed.
So what are you going to read this weekend?

Definitely an enjoyable read, even though some part of me thinks “why do you like it?”😹 It‘s cute, and yet it touches subjects that should be taken into consideration at all times. Also, look at how pleasing the hardcover is without the sleeve!

A third of the way thru!!!! #24in48

My shelfie. #24in48

I enjoyed this YA. I love how fierce and resilient Libby is while also being honest about her worries and fears. I love the hits Niven gives of beginning to see vulnerability as a strength. 💙💙💙

I really need to catch some zzz 😴 But I am really enjoying this book 📖 ok, 10 more pages no 15 and I will sleep 🌙
