It was compelling and didn't seem as offensive as the blurb had been, but the more I think about it, the more that doesn't seem to be enough of an excuse for the book as a whole.

You’re blinded by the sun, but you can feel the ground beneath you, so as much as you think you could go flying off, you know you won’t. She refuses to let her weight define her, stand in her way of her dreams, and fights the fuck back against anyone that dares to ridicule her. 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.

He knows his brother’s hair style, and he can tell his other brother by his ears, but the system is not flawless. I'll try to keep my reaction short and sweet for this book, but in sum: I didn't care for it for a number of reasons. Now, Libby's ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for every possibility life has to offer.A serious read but approached with light, almost comic writing style that addresses social issues with positive conviction and inspiration. She’s lowered from the ceiling by a crane, larger than life, larger than anyone, and she’s the only one with a face. Feminism is not mentioned at any point in this book, but I feel certain that Libby is a feminist in the making. I mean, I've been left completely gutted by Courtney Summers and Lauren Oliver's narratives before, but in ways that made me feel like I identified with the weight of the character's struggles and situations, and to me, the characters they crafted were dimensional, well-thought out, and kept me reading to see what would become of the characters. It made me hopeful that I'll get to the point where my anxiety is just a part of my life, and not so prominent.

I’ve decided to review my least favorite book ever (at least for the moment) because I like to torture myself apparently. i understand that many people were offended by all the bright places (although not nearly as many as the number of people who loved it).Jack is pretty certain that he's looking at Kam or looking at Seth when he sees them, because no-one has hair, or a laugh, like them. I mean, she’s proving to everyone that she isn’t that girl who scarfed all the junk food down her throat nonstop and gave up on herself but instead, she’s already stepped out of her comfort zone and decided to blend into the rest of them. Dress it up however you want, but this book is about an unpopular girl who sees herself as unattractive, and a popular good-looking guy who comes to see how said girl is so much better than all those hot, evil cheerleaders he's been dating. NOTHING WRONG WITH A FAT GIRL THINKING SHE’S FAT BECAUSE WHAT ELSE IS SHE SUPPOSED TO THINK OF WHEN WE THE PEOPLE DON’T BOTHER TO TELL HER ANYTHING ELSE?

But don't you dare make others feel uncomfortable or put them down because they actually want to READ THE BOOK FIRST BEFORE JUDGING IT, because WE actually have the decency to not be biased and go into a book with an open mind instead of making assumptions. And the fact that she's supposedly "[rejoining] the human race" is shaming the girl for her weight because it's implying that she's lazy or a sloth or to blame somehow for her size - it diminishes her worth as a person. Although, it did give Libby and Jack the opportunity to slow dance and stare into each other’s souls… so it’s fine). These things are gross and offensive, but showing the horrible effects of labels and cruel bullying does not seem like a bad thing to me. This book is really interesting, because at the heart, it's a romance, but Jack and Libby have their own individual stories and struggles, too.Jennifer Niven's deeply compelling and highly successful first teen novel All The Bright Places was very much for an older audience with its themes of depression and suicide. His hot, evil girlfriend constantly fat-shames and bullies Libby, obviously, because we all know pretty popular girls are mean, shallow and have no feelings. LIBBY who become America's fattest kid after her mom died, she faced a kind of depression when she was 8 years old and she just start eating alot and as in result she become fattest kid of America. JENNIFER NIVEN HERSELF HAD OBESITY ISSUES AND THE PROSOPAGNOSIA PLOT-POINT WAS INSPIRED BY SOMEONE SHE PERSONALLY KNEW. If you’re looking for the problem*tic aspects of this book, idk it didn’t really find it to be offensive.

Adrian Harrington began trading in 1971, as part of Harrington Brothers in the Chelsea Antiques Market on London's fashionable King's Road.This certainly was a unique story in many ways, but it didn't feel gimmicky in any way, and there was so much emotion and heart in this story, but it never felt emotionally manipulative. And the horrible sluggish pacing in this book just amplified that even more because it felt like certain points were rehashed and told instead of shown. He once screamed that his mom was kidnapping him because she had gotten a haircut and he didn't have the familiar markers to place her in his mind.
