I'll Give You the Sun – Jandy Nelson

At first, twins Jude and Noah are inseparable. Noah is always drawing and falling in love for the first time, while daring, outgoing Jude surfs cliffs, wears red lipstick, and talks to ghosts.

Years later, something has torn them apart. Noah tells the story of their earlier years while Jude narrates what came later. As their separate stories unfold and eventually intertwine, secrets, grief, rivalry, love, and loss emerge, forcing the twins to find their way back to one another.

A dazzling standalone novel about family, creativity, heartbreak, and the complicated bonds that shape our lives.
