A story about how people mess each other up and people help each other heal. Enjoyed reading it but was a little let down by the ending. Too much destiny and One True Pairings, not enough quirky ghost action.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever read a book where every sentence is perfectly placed, and every word is perfectly chosen. Except for I’ll Give You the Sun. This is easily a five-star read, one that blows me away each time I’ve read it (which is…

I really enjoyed this book! The writing style was one that took me a bit to get into, but once I did I couldn't see it written any way else. I really love the switch in points of view between the siblings, Jude and Noah. I also loved the…

Twins Noah and Jude Sweetwine are extremely close, as close as any twins can be. Noah is a shy "revolutionary" who prefers the company of his sketchbooks, while confident Jude loves surfing and cliff-diving. However, time breaks apart even…

“I’ll Give You the Sun” by Jandy Nelson is honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read in a while that puts the “realistic” in realistic fiction. The book centers on a pair of twins: Noah and Jude. While initially close, as the twins…

My heart is so happy right now. Over five years ago, Jandy Nelson made me a fan for life after experiencing her writing in The Sky is Everywhere. I’m not sure why it took me this long to finally read her sophomore novel, but it’s young…

I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson is the quintessential YA realistic fiction novel. With that said, I did still enjoy reading this book. I’ll Give You the Sun follows the life of twins: Jude and Noah. The story is told from both of…

The first book about twins I've read. I love the complexity and simplicity of the connections throughout the book. This goes to show that if you have a different point of view from someone, doesn't mean you are wrong. One of my favorite…

This book is unlike everything I've ever read. All books affect you differently - but this one is definitely something special. So, so beautiful and concise. It's very transformative in terms of how you view family relationships and…

Writing quality was so poor compared to everything else I was reading that I just had to put it down. From what I've heard the story is beautiful but I just could not get over the rubbish writing.

I was wowed by this book and it's landed a firm spot on my top ten best books of all time list! Nelson's prose is vivid and lyrical. I found myself sucked into the story of Noah and Jude, fraternal twins and gifted artists. Their story of…

Really beautifully written. The main characters are teenagers but I read it as an adult and could still absolutely relate to it.

This book is simply amazing. It captures the feelings of the characters very well, and though a lot of people complain that Nelson uses too many metaphors in this book, I don’t mind them at all. I actually really like them. Brian and…

This book was an absolute pleasure. I don't have a twin, but my brother and I are only 11 months apart, so I found Noah and Jude's relationship - the ups and the downs - vividly familiar. I really enjoyed the narrative style, going back in…

The danger of secrets. WOW, that's all I could summarize it to. One of the most sacred bond-twins, are broken over apparently selfishness. However these act of selfishness also have a sacrificial element to it. They all done horrible…
