Plot: When tragedy strikes, the once inseparable twins Jude and Noah Sweetwine have been driven apart, living in two very different and separate worlds. Written across two different time scales, Noah’s narrative follows his exploration of his artistic skills and his dreams of attending the local art school, but will his mother’s secret tear all his dreams apart? Set three years after their family tragedy, Jude’s narrative follows her struggles in art school as well as the distinct separation between her and her twin. Following their dealings with love, school and, most importantly, their crumbling relationship, I’ll Give You The Sun, offers a unique idea to the contemporary YA genre. In a story that interestingly addresses the effects of loss and family, Nelson creates two loveable characters that the reader wants to support from the very first page.
