I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

5.0

I loved this book. It handles grief, love, and personal relationships in a way that pulls at the heartstrings. The flip back and forth from Jude to Noah on either side of a tragic event is a brilliant way to unravel a story. As the puzzle pieces start to fit together and the reader begins to understand the depths of the plot, it really comes alive. My absolute favorite parts are when art is being created. The descriptions of color and technique are written in such a way that non-artists can begin to grasp the mind of a painter or sculptor. That desperate need to create. For me, particularly, it inspired me to work on my own artistry. This novel will hold a special place in my heart for a long time.
