I'll Give You the Sun
By: Jandy Nelson
2014

A story where twins are separated by time and emotion, but why? We see both halves through both twins but from different time points. One twin, Noah, we get his story when he is 13 and we get the other half of the story from the other twin Jude when they are 16. Slowly while the book goes on we get all the little pieces of the story put together through the different viewpoints. This is an instantly captivating read that had me hooked from beginning to end. Nelson has  writing style that will keep you interested while not being too easy a read. There are so many details to this story that you have to pay close attention while you read or you will miss something. While reading you think that there are so many lose ends to all of the stories the twins are telling but they end up all tying together in an unexpected, but remarkable way. By the end, the book definitely takes a piece of you heart and soul with it. I highly highly highly recommend EVERYONE read this, young or old, male or female.

  1. Sounds like an incredible book. It's always somewhat frustrating when it feels like there are loose ends, but finding them all fall into place makes it worth it! I think that it's very unique that the two parts are written at different points in time. I'm going to go ahead and add this to my "Books to Read" list. Thanks for sharing!
