I will Give You The Sun
The novel is about
twins, Jude and her brother Noah. Although the twins were incredibly close at
thirteen, three years later they are hardly speaking to each other. The early
years are narrated by Noah as he struggles with an enormous secret that affects
his past, present, and future. The later years are narrated by Jude and
everything changes when she meets an arrogant and broken, yet beautiful boy.
Jude also encounters a tormented, mysterious artist an even more unpredictable
force that changes her life, and Noah’s, forever.
These brothers were
inseparable, but something happens, leading them not to address to each other. There are secrets, envy, but also very much love and loyalty, this
book explains perfectly how all these things can exist in a relationship. Moreover, when we can witness the favoritism of their parents, a lot of teens can feel
identified with this bias.
This book is very
special for me, the way it is written really achieves that the reader connects with the main characters, with their feelings, their pain, hopes and personal
growth. The main characters, Noah and Jude have totally different personalities,
and they fight every time, but besides all their problems, throughout the
book we found out that their relationship is much closer than we thought.
All the characters (Even
the ones that only appear in one scene) have their virtues and failings, and
these help us to feel the protagonist's story as more realistic. Each one is so
well described that I think that the story would not be the same if one of them were absent.
It is a light book that
you can read in a couple of days, is beautiful and 100% recommended.
