This is absolutely one of my new favorite books of all time. I literally don't have the words to describe it but I loved this book and these characters so deeply. I genuinely feel like Jandy Nelson picked thoughts and feelings out of my brain/heart and wrote them out on paper. The characters felt things in such depth which felt so personal. Both Noah and Jude care so much about one another, about their parents, and about other loved ones, and even when they struggle to vocalize those feelings they come out through their art, which is beautiful. I loved the descriptions of colors, and art, and heavy hearts. All of it was perfect and even when I hated the characters actions, I still loved them. This book covered such a wide array of challenges and struggles that we all deal with and covered them through this coming of age story. The descriptions around grief and loss, assault, feeling left behind by loved ones, falling in love with your first love, all of these things were so well done. I kept annotating that I just wanted to exist along with these characters because Ioved them and their story so much. Again, this is a new all time favorite. I loved it so much and even in all my rambles, I can't accurately capture why but this is my best effort to do so!
