“We were all heading for each other on a collision course, no matter what. Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.”

At first, Jude and her twin brother are NoahandJude; inseparable. Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude wears red-red lipstick, cliff-dives, and does all the talking for both of them.

Years later, they are barely speaking. Something has happened to change the twins in different yet equally devastating ways . . . but then Jude meets an intriguing, irresistible boy and a mysterious new mentor.

The early years are Noah’s to tell; the later years are Jude’s. But they each have only half the story, and if they can only find their way back to one another, they’ll have a chance to remake their world.

This radiant, award-winning novel from the acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once.

Favorite book ever. My absolute favorite book, without a doubt, of all time. You know that question, “If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life, a food that you’d never get tired of, which food would it be”? Simply put, rephrase the food question in book form and this book is that book for me. Every word is worth the read, even the heartbreaking parts that make you have to close the book and calm down before you can open it again. So much of this book can snatch your breath out from underneath you, but this book not only takes your breath away, it also gives you a fresh breath of spring that you never knew you could get from a book. 10/10 would recommend.

Kaleidoscope. I wonder home come I postpone reading this, its just so brilliant! I'm in love with this book and so happy that I finally read it ❤️

Must read. Brilliant!!! Loved how each twin's story, of past and present, intertwined perfectly! Truly a must-read!

Awesomeeeeee.. I read this book months ago, but never got around to writing a review. Anyways, this book was so beautiful. I cried reading it. I think it's so worth the read and the money. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I can't. this book is beyond anything. The author was LITERALLY painting with words. How? I have no idea. But I loved everything. all of it. please tell me you can hear me screaming because this book jakakaozavsuxbwb

Speechless.. I’ve never written a review for a book before, but this one deserves it. Wow. The writing is both impeccable and unique, and the story is so beautiful. I will definitely be re-reading this book over and over and over in the future. Amazing.

So beautiful. I couldn’t put it down.. This book was just such a rollercoaster for me personally. It had all those small moments that warm your heart and soul, that I’m just a sucker for. The perfect amount of face palmable and suspenseful mistakes that make the characters sooo human. And the right amount of emotion that makes you feel all the feels over and over again. The ones that make you cry but hoping for the best. This book made me fall in love with these flawed and carefully created characters. I don’t have enough words to explain to you how I feel. Other than, read it.

Fell in love instantly. The title says it all.

Four years and it’s still my favorite. I got this book my freshman year of high school, I bought the paperback version at target and started reading it and finished it in two days. This book is so beautifully written and thought out, the time frames and the amount of work I can tell was put into this is beyond incredible. This author will forever hold my respect for being able to create something that uses art in such a beautiful way. I’ve recommended five people to this book and each person fell in love with it.

My Favorite. I’ll Give You Sun is absolutely one of my favorite reads! It takes the reader on a constant ride that makes you feel the highs and lows that Noah and Jude experience. It’s a powerful story that left such an impact! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Best book ever made. I have been reading and rereading this book for years, every time I read it I fall I love with it all over again, Noah’s chapters are for sure my favorite

LOVE. i’ve read this book about 5 times already and i can nEVER get bored of it. 100% recommend 👌🏼

AMAZING WRITING!. This is just a story about the good and bad things in life, but it’s told so explosively. The writing is amazing in my opinion. I felt, saw and lived every scene. I was teary. I was smiling. This book removed me from my world completely while I read it and left its feelings behind after I finished it.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!. This book will make your heart lurch with pride, imagination, happiness, and soooo much more. One of the best.

A beautiful book. What an incredible story. I've never written a review before but couldn't put this book down and never wanted it to end. Love, loss, redemption...life. A beautiful book that I can't wait to read again.

Love it!. Amazing book! Great characters and the way it all comes together is magnificent! Best book I've read by far!

I'll give you the sun. I loved this book! Fantastic story and characters. Heartbreaking and heartwarming.

A must-read book, relatable to boys, girls, straight, gay, all of the above.. I’ll give you the sun was my favorite book in the eighth grade and still is, I mark my favorite pages and reread them when I’m sad. This is book is so outstanding.

Beautiful. This book is equivalent to the Mona Lisa instead of a description with paint its words.

Fantastic!. I loved how everything can't together at the end. Great characters, fantastic story!

amazing!!. such an amazing book, so much emotion!! truly amazing, made me realize things about myself i didn’t know.

Just Simply...Amazing!. Ok so this book bored me at first. It literally took me like forever to read it...but I'm so glad I did. It was beautifully written. The way the story collides at the end it's just absolutely amazing. I loved it!!!! I would recommend it to anyone who understands that there is always more to a story than just your side.

Amazing. I do not typically enjoy any kind of romance novels, but I really really like this book. Everything is a full circle and it’s very satisfying to finish!

Must read. Whether it be family issues, slelf-discovery, the journey through love or just everyday hardships this book will hit every corner and give readers something to relate to. From the minute I picked it up I couldn't set it down and found myself reading it front to back and practically underlining every word. With each turning page I was on the edge of my seat and practically in the brink of tears. Each character is wonderfully written and you can feel every emotion as if you were experiencing it yourself. I'll Give You The Sun will send you searching for a love that'll make you feel as if you'll burst into flames. It would be a shame to miss out on such an amazing book.

True art. This book is like art personified into words. The imagery, the hyperbole that wasn't hyperbole. I wish I thought like this, saw like this. The delivery also very clever, cliff hanger, anxious to know both stories and everything at once. I didn't want it to end but also needed that ending. So amazing. Thank you!

Wow!. This was an absolutely amazing book, I literally felt my emotions go wild and I felt everything the characters felt, I would definitely suggest this book!!!😄😄👌👌

Just buy it right now.. This book is absolutely remarkable. There is not one thing negative that I could say about it. To some people it may seem a bit confusing but if you don't give up on it, you pay attention, and you allow the story to come to life in your mind you will understand its brilliance. I have read hundreds of books, but this one is up there with the best. So thoughtfully crafted; every seemingly irrelevant detail is significant in bringing the story together. I also love the way it's written, just the word styling and voice really speaks to me. A MUST read for sure.

Nice surprise. Didn't expect such beautiful writing and funny takes about coming of age. The characters are wonderfully layered and human.

Best book ever. This is the best book I've honestly ever read. Like John Green, but better. I've read it more than five times, and I'm a 14 year old girl. BEST BOOK EVER!

A Work of Art. It's been months since I've read this gift and I still can't stop taking about it. Some may think the metaphors to be unrealistic and a tad overbearing but,personally, as a thirteen year old I think quite similarly, I am pretty mature though. This book had me crying before the fiftieth page and I don't think it's spell will ever fade. I'll Give you the Sun is one of my most appreciated things on earth and I strongly urge you to read it.

AMAZING. I bought this book two years ago, and to this day I continue to go back and reread it. A quick but deep read that makes you really be grateful and enjoy life and what it truly is. It's overall my favorite book and recommend this book very much!!

My all time favorite book. Seriously love this book

Wonderful Book. Loved this book! So much better than I expected. Character development was fantastic! Awesome read!

I. Could. Die.. I could die right now and be content with everything in my life after reading the novel. It's so perfectly brilliant and I will recommend it to every face I see until they've all felt the way I feel right now. Thank you.

Wow.. This book was sooo good. I love Jandy Nelson's writing style and am super excited to read her other novel, The Sky is Everywhere. Being a twin, there are a lot of books about us that are not at all accurate, and she nailed Jude and Noah's relationship. Like, perfectly. She really got into the minds of both of them, which isn't easy because she is an adult writing from a child's perspective. I love how she had each twin telling their side of the story at different points in their lives. She took many risks in this book and they worked together beautifully.I highly, highly recommend this book. I was left stunned by it. Just, wow.

I'll Give Up The World. Words can't describe how amazing this book is.

I don’t think any book I read will ever top this !. It’s breathtaking. The way this book is written makes you genuinely feel as though you are IN the story with the characters. This book has created a new bar in every way. I genuinely love this book.

Good to get lost in. Although it starts off slow and takes a while to get used to the artist-world I wasn't familiar with, the rest of the story is worth it. The characters all have very deep relationships with one another that kept me wanting to read more and reflecting on my own life. As a bonus, there is FINALLY an ending to a book I'm happy with!

Wow. Oh wow. Oh wow. I was expecting heartbreak at the end, or an unfinished plot, but I'll Give You the Sun really summed up everything in the most simplistic way possible that you have to read it twice before having a seizure. If you have time—even if you don't, give this a really dedicated read. You won't regret it because Jandy Nelson will break your heart and make you cry, but she'll also make you smile in the middle of the night and crack you up so you're lying on your side and rolling around on the carpet (or maybe that's just me.) NoahandJude forever.

MESMERIZING. This novel is brilliant. The way in which it's written is completely innovative and beautiful. This novel is bound to become a big blockbuster film and let me just tell you that if it does, it will be better than anything you've seen before.

oh. my. gosh.. this book can't really be described in words. it's like a sarah dessen book, but added with BEAUTIFUL metaphors and words. and believe me, the metaphors aren't so ironic as the ones in TFIOS, but they are real. if you love rainbow Rowell or sarah dessen I think you will LOVE this book. It is a work of art, and yes there is some offensive language in the beginning, but if you keep reading, you understand that it is supposed to set the tone of that moment. I loved all the characters so much, and a lot of times I wanted to just give Noah, Jude, Brian, or even Guillermo a hug and tell them everything was okay. I love this book so much.

My first tattoo ever was inspired by this. This book became my favorite the first time I read it and I’ve re-read it so many times since. The illustrative writing is incredible and Jandy Nelson did absolutely amazing. My tattoo is inspired by the quote, “I gave up practically the whole world for you,” I tell him, walking through the front door of my own love story. “The sun, stars, ocean, trees, everything, I gave it all up for you.”

Very relatable. I loved the progression of the characters as the story unfolds. This book comes full circle in a beautiful way. It might take you a couple chapters to get in the right headspace for all the eccentric pieces inside this story, but soooo worth it!

I’ll read again and again. Rarely have I encountered characters and their story that has moved me like this one. I’ve read it in electronic form, but am looking for a physical copy for my library.

A lovely story. I don’t think I’ve ever read a better book in my entire life. Beautifully written, I was captivated by ever word and sentence. Jandy truly is a phenomenal writer. NOTHING but good things to say about this book. I’m beyond grateful I took a shot at this book. Love Jude and Noah!

So good. amazing

possibly the best book i’ll ever read. Yes, I mean it. It’s so well written that I’ve gone back and read it multiple times, sometimes just flipping to a random page and diving back in. It’s colorful, exciting and entirely original. It’s not YA, not a love story—yet it’s both of those things.

In love with this book. Such a beautiful read. I wanted to stay up all night because I just could not get enough of it! Love the characters, the writing and the way their lives all ended up meshing. Would so tell ANYONE and EVERYONE to read this book!

Indescribably, Heart-Warmingly Amazing. To say this book is spectacular is an understatement. It is truly eye-opening, beautifully written. This book will undoubtedly be etched into your memory and your thoughts long after you've finished reading it. It is that breed of literature that makes you unendingly happy that you were lucky enough to find and experience it, to experience the characters and the raw emotions they felt. A must-read for everyone.

Wow.. The most beautiful story I think I’ve ever read. My new favorite book. It made me smile, cry, it just made my heart swell in so many ways. Wowowow.

Breathtaking. This book is one of the best I have ever read. The novel beautifully tackles the difficult subjects of grief, sexual orientation, identity, and unwanted sexual experiences. Its amazing and great and weird and wonderful. I was so upset the book was over once I had finished. It is so relatable for all teenagers, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!

Omg!. Omg literally I love this book! I’m not the biggest reader like at all but I chose this book to read for a class assignment and OH MY GOD I LOVED IT!!! In ways it was so relatable. so amazing. so real. so pure! Books like these make me actually want to read so I hope whenever I go to a book store I see this book cause I’ll definitely get it!

Absolutely Incredible. This book was amazing. Each character was so different in their own wonderful way. Everything about this book is just so wonderful. Such a beautiful story that will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Amazing writing style. On of my Favorite books of all time. It’s YA but the writing is a lot less pre-teen than conventional YA works.

Thank you. This book is so many things and all of them are so important, this is by far my favourite YA novel. I love the imagery, I love the characters, I love all the different aspects of life she brought into play in this story. There are so many parts I've gone back and read over and over. This book has a little bit of my heart reserved just for it.
