From the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places comes a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see and love someone for who they truly are. Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout. Once dubbed 'America's Fattest Teen', she is only seen for her weight, not the girl underneath.

Since her mum's death she's been picking up the pieces in private, alone with her heartbroken father.

But now, Libby is ready for new friends, for love and for every possibility life has to offer. Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin too. Yes, he's got swagger, but he's also mastered the art of fitting in.

What no one knows is that Jack has a secret: he can't recognize faces.

Even his own brothers are strangers to him. When Jack and Libby meet, they discover that the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel, and that by seeing each other, they can be seen – and loved – in a way they never expected. 'Gorgeously written and oh-so-deeply felt' - Nicola Yoon, author of Everything Everything and The Sun is Also a Star
