Printz Award • A Stonewall Honor Book The radiant, award-winning story of first love, family, loss, and betrayal for fans of John Green, Becky Albertalli, and Adam Silvera "Dazzling."— The New York Times Book Review "A blazing prismatic explosion of color . "— Entertainment Weekly "Powerful and well-crafted . . . Stunning." —Time Magazine “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. From the acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere, this exhilarating novel will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once. Review: Full of emotion and power - Friends, there’s very little that’s as immensely satisfying and fantastic as a book you’ve been anticipating for LITERALLY YEARS living up to your expectations of greatness. This is such a confluence of serendipity and the work of so many people that it’s no wonder it doesn’t happen very often. Thankfully for me and all of you and the whole world, Jandy Nelson’s I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN is one of these books. I will always have a very special spot in my heart for THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE, but I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN was worth the wait. I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN is about twins Jude and Noah. Their story is told in alternating first-person chapters: Noah’s when they are 13 and Jude when they are 16. In the three intervening years, their relationship goes from good but competitive to completely absent. Noah is a gifted artist who is struggling mightily with his identity and following his heart. Jude also struggles with her art and with her guilt over the THING that drove the two twins apart, not to mention that she is trying to figure out her feelings for the charming and enigmatic Oscar. Both of them are trying to come to terms with the relationships they each have with their mother. Their two stories show how the twins were torn apart, and how they overcome their years of misunderstandings. There is always something that feels magical about Jandy Nelson’s books. The way she writes just weaves this spell over me so that the characters and the setting and everything feel slightly fantastical even when they are just meant to be people that any of us could know. This is what always amazes me about her stories, and what makes me feel so connected to her writing. THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE did this over and over again, and I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN did it, too. I have to admit that I was curious about the way I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN was structured before I read it, not so much the alternating points of view as much as the time difference between the two. I was basically SILLY. Jandy Nelson not only pulls it off, but does so in a way that makes your heart break even more for Noah and Jude. Because even though we don’t know the details of how their already mildly contentious relationship (they often are competing for their mother’s attention in Noah’s story) turns into the cold distance of Jude’s, you have this understanding that they’re each missing important pieces. It helps a TON that Noah and Jude themselves are great characters, although I found Noah more empathetic than Jude. Like I spent the entirety of I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN just DYING to give Noah huge hugs all the time. HUGE HUGS. He just broke my heart. He broke my heart when he was a 13-year-old boy fighting himself, and he killed me when he was 16 and still looking for the strength to be himself. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t also feel Jude’s sadness. She is failing out of art school, is a crazy hypochondriac, deliberately wears clothes that are too big, and lives by the wisdom of her dead grandmother, whose ghost slash spirit visits Jude. These twins aren’t very alike, but I loved them TO BITS all the same. I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN wouldn’t be a Jandy Nelson book without some romance, though, and Noah and Jude both get one. Noah’s was incredibly sweet and heartwarming while also being devastating. I ADORED how tentative but all-consuming Noah and Brian’s young love was and the lasting impact it made on Noah. Jude and Oscar have a deep connection as well as a strong attraction, and they made me swoon even when they were fighting it. It helps that Jandy Nelson’s writing is, as always, MIND-BLOWINGLY GORGEOUS. Friends, there are so many meaty emotions going on in I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN. Feelings of love between siblings, romantic love, lost love, misunderstood love, love that saves you, and love that destroys you. This book is also about art and artistry, and about being true. I cannot recommend it enough. I’m ready for more, Jandy. You know, whenever you’re ready. Review: Absolutely blew me away. Just so beautifully written. - Jandy Nelson's I'll Give You the Sun is beautiful, breathtaking, bewildering, and a little bizarre, but I can't get it out of my head. Somehow I knew I'd love it and yet it still surprised me. Jude and Noah Sweetwine are twins, so close they often think of themselves as NoahandJude. They can read each other's thoughts and know each other's fears. At age 13, both are artistically creative and emotionally sensitive in their own ways, yet they're also quite different. Jude is a daredevil who loves to surf, take risks, and is rapidly becoming the type of girl who intrigues and attracts all the boys, while Noah tries to live his life unnoticed so he won't be bullied, lives in his own artistic fantasy world, and is fighting his attraction to/obsession with the new boy next door. Yet three years later, Noah and Jude are barely speaking, and everything has changed. Jude lives in constant fear and has isolated herself from the possibility of a romantic relationship, and while she feels a profound need to create art, she can't seem to express herself the way she wants to. And Noah has completely given up art, dives off of cliffs, and become the person no one ever thought he'd be. What happened in their lives, and between them, to change everything so drastically? When Jude meets a charismatic young man she can't stop thinking about, someone with a connection to Noah, and then meets a troubled artist whose talent may help her free her artistic block, these encounters provide answers and yet more questions. "'Or maybe a person is just made up of a lot of people,' I say. 'Maybe we're accumulating these new selves all the time.' Hauling them in as we make choices good and bad, as we screw up, step up, lose our minds, find our minds, fall apart, fall in love, as we grieve, grow, retreat from the world, dive into the world, as we make things, as we break things." I'll Give You the Sun shifts in perspective between Noah and Jude. Noah's narration takes place when the twins are 13, Jude's takes place three years later. Each of them holds half of the answers yet aren't willing to share them with the other to complete their understanding. How can a relationship that was so interdependent, so interconnected, turn so painful? "This is what I want: I want to grab my brother's hand and run back through time, losing years like coats falling from our shoulders. Things don't really turn out like you think." This is a book about the half-truths we tell ourselves and our reluctance to see what is in front of us and say what we truly feel. It's a book about following your heart and accepting the truth, even if it leads you somewhere you're afraid of, and realizing you must live the life that ignites your passions. It's also a book about how simple it is to hurt those closest to us, and how the simplest actions can cause so much pain. Nelson is an absolutely exquisite writer. I cannot tell you how many sentences I read over and over again because they took my breath away. That being said, I found Noah's narration—while tremendously heartfelt and emotionally provoking—a little difficult to follow, because he speaks in a stream of consciousness-type way, as he sees everything in his head as a painting. It took a little getting used to, but it truly touched my heart. Jude and Noah are such vivid, beautiful characters I absolutely loved, even as I wanted to shake them for making the mistakes they did. This is one of those books I wish were so much longer because I didn't want to give up these characters. I hope someday Nelson gives us a glimpse into their lives again, but even if she doesn't, I know she is an author I'll need to keep reading. This one blew me away. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #43,134 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21 in Teen & Young Adult LGBTQ+ Fiction (Books) #34 in Teen & Young Adult Siblings Fiction #49 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction about Death & Dying | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 9,672 Reviews | ## Images ![I'll Give You the Sun - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hGQjMpGaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full of emotion and power *by A***T on February 17, 2015* Friends, there’s very little that’s as immensely satisfying and fantastic as a book you’ve been anticipating for LITERALLY YEARS living up to your expectations of greatness.

This one blew me away. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost Perfect Contemporary YA *by G***R on May 1, 2018* I read I’ll Give You the Sun to fulfill the prompt of “A book with characters who are twins” for the 2018 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge. I had originally pegged another book to fill this slot, but happened to find this book on sale and switched over to it. It turned out to be a good choice. I’ll Give You the Sun follows the Sweetwine twins: Noah and Jude. Or, as they are often referred to, Noahandjude. They are fraternal twins: Noah a boy, and Jude a girl. The story begins when the twins are 13 and undergoing adolescent growing pains. Noah has discovered he is gay, but is keeping it a secret from everyone. Jude is crushing on an older guy. As the twins start to discover themselves, they begin to drift apart. The chapters alternate between the characters of Noah and Jude, and also bounce back and forth in time. Though they are 13 when the book begins, the story moves them forward to 16, and shows just how their lives have changed in those few short years. Noah is now popular and hanging out with a girl, and the once-popular Jude is now a recluse who talks to her dead grandmother and carries onions in her pockets. There is some mystery behind what has sparked those changes. There are family issues, secrets, lies, and misunderstandings. The author does a good job of showing what Noah and Jude are going through, and displaying the conflicting emotions they feel as they realize they are changing, not only as individuals but as Noahandjude. If you are tired of trope-ridden YA, this book is a refreshing contemporary literary tale that falls just short (in my estimation) of being a perfect read. Why? Because the author uses a word that isn’t a word. Repeatedly. And it is one of my pet peeves. The (non)word is “prophesize.” Seriously. A prophecy is a prediction. A person who makes a prophecy is called a prophet. When a prophet delivers a prophecy, they are prophesying, not prophesizing. This. Is. Not. A. Damn. Word. Which is what was frustrating about this book. I enjoyed the multi-layered story and how I could see all the pieces settling into place, and the possibility of a truly fitting ending for the marvelously quirky and endearing characters, but after the early usage of “prophesize” in its myriad of non-existent verb tenses, I was a little guarded as to whether I could trust the book not to veer off into other uncharted linguistic territory. The fact that a decent editor could have made this an easy 5-star read is frustrating. Or, you know, just typing the word into an editing program and seeing the red line below it. These words are fine if you are building a sci-fi or fantasy world and introducing new terms, but to exhibit such ignorance in a contemporary reality-based novel is pure nonsense. There was one other aspect of the story I found problematic. Without giving away too much, it revolves around Jude’s “Don’t do that again!” speech near the end of the book. I felt it was a little too lenient given the subject. Recommended for anyone interested in mature contemporary YA with quirky characters, family drama, humor, and romance. 4 out of 5 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/19527619-ill-give-you-the-sun](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/19527619-ill-give-you-the-sun) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
