When Invisibility Becomes Your Identity
Imagine waking up every morning unable to recognize your own face in the mirror, or returning to high school after years of isolation, known to millions as "America's Fattest Teen." These aren't hypothetical scenarios but the lived realities of Jack Masselin and Libby Strout, two teenagers navigating the treacherous waters of high school while carrying invisible and visible burdens. Their stories intertwine in a powerful exploration of what it means to truly see and be seen in a world obsessed with appearances. Jack appears to have everything-popularity, charm, a vintage Land Rover-but harbors a secret that threatens his carefully constructed facade: prosopagnosia, a neurological condition rendering him unable to recognize faces. "Imagine every room filled with strangers, even your own home," Jack explains. He identifies people by their walk, voice, and distinguishing features, his Afro grown specifically so he can find himself in reflections. His condition forces him to develop extraordinary social skills: "My coping strategy: be charming, funny, always 'on,' and never lose control."
