THE SYNOPSIS :
A brilliant, luminous story of first love, family, loss, and betrayal for fans of John Green, David Levithan, and Rainbow RowellJude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else—an even more unpredictable new force in her life. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world.
This radiant novel from the acclaimed, award-winning author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once
THE REVIEW :
There were tears in my eyes by the time I finished the book. A mix of both happy and sad tears. Happy because I read a wonderful book. Around 415 pages of awesomeness. Sad tears because I took so long to read it. The moment people started talking about this beauty I knew I had to have it and see what's all the hype about. But with classes and activities in my way, I barely found time to read. It took me sooooooo long to really get a chance to sit one whole day only reading. I took a day off and held on to the book. I finished it and was in awe (still am) of the way this author writes. Can't wait to get my hands on the next book by Jandy Nelson. Obviously I`m going to write to the author as well.
Coming to the book - in detail- :
The Characters - Noah. He is my personal favorite. He is funny, sweet and simply awesome.
These twins love art and everything about it.
Jude - Noah's twin sister. She is intense. As the book progresses and you finally understand the lies and the truths, you are left speechless and it's near impossible to choose sides.
Mother & Father : Normally family, extra-ordinary parents.
Brian - OH, how I love this guy in the beginning and then hate him. Wanna cut his head of. Tear the page where his name is written. But then, love him again and back to the hating phase. Like a tennis match.
Oscar - Don't even get me started. Loved this character! Awesome work on this one Jandy!
Guillermo or G- Wonderfully portrayed!
The others - Well written and just awesome.
You know, reading this book was like watching a movie in my head. I got to see them act, hear them speak and watch them laugh and cry, get wasted and well....not. It's usually like that with every book but this one was different . It's a personal favorite which I totally recommend but won't lend. To be specific : Page 88 is my go to page to make me smile. I dog-eared the page! Yes, I`m ashamed of that because I own quite a good number of bookmarks yet I went ahead and did that. This is book will make you wonder, smile, cry, laugh, feel things you think you are incapable of feeling. This book will bring out a side of you you never thought you had. A side which feels so deeply for characters you wish they were real and at the same time wishing they weren't. Sometimes people obsess over books that it becomes the MOST READ and I`m grateful to those because of whom I learnt about this book.
I have never read a story about twins before. I enjoy reading LGBT books because I believe I can understand a new person every time I open a book of a different genre.
I recommend this book and DO NOT POST PONE READING IT `CAUSE OF THE SIZE. JUST JUMP RIGHT IN AND DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU ARE DONE READING THE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
FAVORITE QUOTES / LINES
“Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.” “I gave up practically the whole world for you,” I tell him, walking through the front door of my own love story. “The sun, stars, ocean, trees, everything, I gave it all up for you.”
“People die, I think, but your relationship with them doesn't. It continues and is ever-changing."
“Sometimes you think you know things, know things very deeply, only to realize you don’t know a damn thing.”
“Reality is crushing. The world is a wrong-sized shoe. How can anyone stand it?”
AND MANY MORE..
ACCORDING TO BUSTLE :
Prepare yourself: Female YA powerhouses are joining forces. Gossip Girlscribe Natalie Krinsky has signed on to write the script for Jandy Nelson's I'll Give You The Sun movie adaptation. But wait, there's more: Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan, who were behind the adaptation of Gayle Foreman's If I Stay, will produce.
Warner Bros. optioned the movie rights back in June, as I'll Give You The Sunwas picking up major buzz and critical acclaim prior to its release in September. The book did not disappoint. Nelson's novel is a twin and family relationship story at its heart, but it also intricately explores themes of art, fate, and identity, often with the artwork replacing some of the inner dialogue.
