Wow! That was good. Jandy Nelson did a very good job of writing teen angst and the feeling of the world being out of balance. I loved how Noah’s creativity was described as an ecstatic impulse. I would love to know what it would be like to have that feeling. I related a lot to Jude’s character, a teen wondering how to navigate boys, friends, and acting one way, but feeling another. Guillermo and Oscar were wonderful additions to the story and played their parts well. I could fully imagine what they looked like and how they reacted. There were times when I knew what was going to happen and hoped it didn’t and others when the story caught me completely by surprise. I loved that.

I acquired this book on a whim when I saw it in my audible suggestions and liked the name and cover - and I'm so glad I found it! I've never read/listened to a book stringing words together like this. The stories' secrets are thrilling and heartbreaking, full of loss and love. For me the metaphorical language really worked and as somebody who also paints in their head, I looooved Noahs POV. I highly recomment the audiobook read by Julia Whelan and Jesse Bernstein!
