Everyone knows Libby Strout. She's the girl who was so heavy she had to be lifted out of her house by a crane. After being homeschooled for years, she's ready to rejoin the human race, aka the junior class of MVB High. She's free, she's strong, and she's going to get through this or so she lies to herself. (Okay, fine, she's terrified out of her skull.)

Everyone knows Jack Masselin, too. He may not be the most popular guy in school, but he's got swagger. What no one knows is that Jack has a secret: his brain is different, or maybe a little broken, and he can't recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him. But he's made it this far, and he just has to keep it up: Be charming. Be hilarious. Don't get too close to anyone.

Until he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game which lands them in group counseling and community service Libby and Jack are both pissed . . . and then surprised. Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel. Because sometimes when you meet someone, it changes the world, theirs and yours.
