All the Bright Places is my favorite book ever but it left me so emotionally damaged that now i rethink every interaction in life. but so worth the read. Review: Incredible! - This book was so good from start to finish. I couldn’t put it down! I love the way that it is written because it flowed really well. This is the second book that I’ve read by this author, and it did not disappoint! I cannot believe that I didn’t read this one sooner! I’ll be checking out her other books asap! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #589,833 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #30 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Depression & Mental Health (Books) #40 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction about Self Esteem & Reliance #396 in Teen & Young Adult Contemporary Romance | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 6,332 Reviews | ## Images ![Holding Up the Universe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EKU-xpRSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ raw,almost uncomfortable to read, but more relatable than you can imagine. *by R***N on April 10, 2021* this is genuinely one of the best books i’ve ever read. i hate reading and i finished this in three days...it’s so emotional and so almost raw that you have to keep ready. i can relate to both of the main characters in a way which makes it even better. i also loved the structure of the book, having perspectives almost makes it easier to read. i recommend reading “All The Bright Places” by Jennifer Niven, but only if you can handle the mental time it takes on you. it’s so much better than the movie so READ THE BOOK FIRST!!!!

First, I have to say that I really did enjoy this book. I can agree with some people on how parts of the story are problematic, and I'll get to that, but as a whole I was entertained until the very end, and that's what I like to get from my books I read. I didn't think that the couple of problems with this book ruined it at all and I found the story to be cute, which again is something I want from my contemporary reads, and for once I wasn't able to predict everything that was going to happen before it happened. Now being an overweight person myself, I have to say the way that Libby views herself is beyond relatable. I know that I've seen people that have a problem with how she views herself and about how often she thinks about her weight and the fact that she's supposed to be this force for self love at the same time. But come on, this is how a teenage girls brain works. Even now as an adult that's how my brain works. I go from one day hating everything about the way I look to the next thinking I'm the cutest thing in the world and everyone can just suck it. Maybe because I can put myself in her shoes it makes it easier for me to understand how her brain can work that way, but it's really accurate and spoke to me on a high level. Oh Jack. I'm not sure where to start with Jack. I have to say even though he has prospoga.....you know what, EVERY TIME I came to this word in the book it took me like 5 minutes to figure out how to pronounce it again, so I'm just not going to use it here. Anyway, even with Jack's neurological disorder I have to say he really is a douchey boy. Granted I felt some sympathy for him but then there were times he'd do or say something and I'd just think "Come on, Really?". But then again I can see that that is how he's supposed to be written and that's probably the reaction we're supposed to have with him. Let's talk about the insta love for just a second. Sure that's usually a thing that happens with contemporaries, you meet someone and bam you're in love. Granted Libby and Jack knew each other before the insta love happened but you can literally see it suddenly happen where all of a sudden Jack looks different to Libby and he's a dreamy boy. It wasn't so glaring wrong that I wasn't able to move past it, but I do feel that that situation could have been handled a little differently. Back to Jack's neurological disorder. I still don't fully understand how it all works and how he's able to tell Libby apart from everyone else so easily. It does seem like a Love Cures Everything kind of deal but when I think about it, maybe love could cure prosp.....whatever. Maybe having that connection with someone, a connection so strong that you're not scared to look in to their eyes, can cause something else to fire in the brain that helps remember what their face looks like. So yet again, even though I can see this as being problematic, it still kind of makes sense to me and does add to the story. All in all this was a very enjoyable read. I loved getting to see Libby make that transition from homeschooled loaner to being more comfortable in her skin and going to a normal high school and trying to make friends and start a relationship. I enjoyed getting to follow Jack and see that maybe the douchey act he puts on is just a front because he has no idea how to act since no one really knows about his problem and he's too scared to really tell anyone. I am a sucker for contemporaries and the fact that this one touched on a couple hard topics made me an even bigger sucker for it. I'd recommend this to pretty much anyone looking for a good and entertaining read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/34031238-holding-up-the-universe](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/34031238-holding-up-the-universe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
