Affascinante. Divertente. Distaccato. Ecco le tre parole d'ordine di Jack Masselin, sedici anni e un segreto ben custodito. Jack non riesce a riconoscere il volto delle persone. Nemmeno quello dei suoi fratelli. Per questo si è dovuto impegnare molto per diventare Mister Popolarità. Si è esercitato per anni nell'impossibile arte di conoscere tutti senza conoscere davvero nessuno, di farsi amare senza amare a propria volta. Ma le cose prendono una piega inaspettata quando Jack vede per la prima volta Libby. Libby che non è come le altre ragazze. Libby che porta addosso tutto il peso dell'universo: un passato difficile e tanti, troppi chili per farsi accettare dai suoi compagni. Jack prende di mira Libby in un gioco crudele, un gioco che spedisce entrambi in presidenza. Libby però non è il tipo che si lascia umiliare, e il suo incontro con Jack diventa presto uno scontro. Al mondo non esistono due tipi più diversi di loro. Eppure... più Jack e Libby si conoscono, meno si sentono soli. Perché ci sono persone che hanno il potere di cambiare tutto. Anche una vita intera.

È in quel preciso istante che i due ragazzi provano per la prima volta la vertigine che li legherà nei mesi successivi.

E alla fine di questa corsa, a rimanere indelebile nella memoria sarà l'incanto di una storia d'amore tra due ragazzi che stanno per diventare adulti. Quel genere d'incanto che solo le giornate perfette sono capaci di regalare.
