## Description

Holding Up the Universe: A poignant, exhilarating love story from the New York Times bestselling author : Niven, Jennifer: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Waited ages for this and I was not disappointed - I was a huge fan of 'All the Bright Places' and naturally I had to pre-order this book when I saw it. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as all the bright places but I was pleasantly proved wrong. This book is heartwarming and realistic in the best ways possible. The characters are far from perfect and that makes them so completely relatable. This book was so good that I devoured it within a few hours. There is so much more that I could say about the writing techniques and the way that you begin to root for the characters, but it would never compare to the reality. The best thing to do is read the book for yourself and fall in love with the characters yourself.
Review: A different angle on teenage romance. - A must read for the coming of age. Empathy for others is a good message. Acceptance of people who are different and we all have crosses to bear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A different angle on teenage romance.

A must read for the coming of age. Empathy for others is a good message. Acceptance of people who are different and we all have crosses to bear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can relate
*by G***E on 11 April 2022*

I loved this book. Growing up in high school I pretty much felt the same. However, I gave in and lost 4 stone. I was originally 11 stone in year 9 and I went down to 7 stone going cold turkey. I have a hip condition which caused me to gain so much weight as I couldn’t walk properly! I wish I had the strength Libby had!! I’m now a mum and I’m still quite big but now I know im me! If people don’t like it I’ll be like Libby and prove that just because your big doesn’t mean it should affect friendships and relationships!
