I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
On the recommendation of one of my students and one of the school librarians, I read this book. For the first 75% of the book, I didn't like it. Not sure why I didn't give up, but I guess I am glad I didn't. I guess.
Noah and Jude are twins. Noah is crazy artistic and Jude is outgoing. The book is told by Noah at age fourteen and Jude at age sixteen. Basically, what happens before and after their mother's death. We learn their secrets and their heartbreaks, as well as their mother's.
Like I said, and ok book. It's winning a ton of awards, but I just don't understand why. I didn't think it was anything special, particularly since it took so much before I liked the book.
