Waiting on Wednesday (133): I'll Give You The Sun


WOW is hosted by Breaking the Spine

September 16th, 2014 from Dial BYR

A brilliant, luminous story of first love, family, and loss, for fans of John Green, David Levithan, and Rainbow Rowell.

Jude and her brother, Noah, are incredibly close twins. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude surfs and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and divisive ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as an unpredictable new mentor. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world.

This radiant, fully alive, from the critically acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once.

SO EXCITED for this book! I loved Nelson's The Sky is Everywhere (seriously, folks, that novel is incredible), and have been impatiently waiting for her next release. 

What are you waiting on?

  2. Great pick! I still haven't read The Sky is Everywhere…I need to fix that! This one sounds good though, especially if it appeals to fans of Green and Rowell.

  3. I am so psyched for this book!! It's only fitting that it comes out on my birthday, because a new novel from Jandy Nelson is pretty much the best birthday present ever.

  8. I might have actually hyperventilated a little bit when I realized it was Jandy Nelson's name on this book. I /loved/ The Sky is Everywhere. It's one of my all time favorite books. To finally see another book from her is a beautiful thing. I absolutely can not wait to read this.

    Wonderful pick! :)

  11. I saw the cover for this one earlier in the week, but this was the first time I saw the synopsis. It sounds really interesting. I like that one twin tells one part/vice versa. I haven't read The Sky is Everywhere. I'll have to check it out. Great pick!
