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.

You never know what will change your life
I was surprised by the story, even though the characters are in their teens the story made me feel that I was listening to 32 year old. In other words, the characters are more mature then their age. I like the artist twist to the story, but the twist is also in the story. As the story evolves all the characters are intertwined in many things and it's not until the end that we find out how close the characters are to one another. What really made the twins spilt, was not talking to each other when they should have, but instead they allowed their chatter in their head to overwhelm there reality to what really was happening and assuming the worst outcome to what would happen if they told anyone. And isn't that always the case when something happens and we worry and dwell on it. There are a lot of surprises on how all the characters are connected and how they will end up, but you don't find out until almost the end of the story. I like the way the story is laid out because you only learn what you need to know at the time and not to much is given away so you get a lot of surprises until the end, and I think a story should always surprise a reader.

An Amazing Book! Highly Reccomend!
Wow, I am at a loss for words after reading this novel. This book 100% deserves to be on the New York Times best sellers list. Firstly, the plot was unpredictable. There were numerous twists and turns, having me at the edge of my seat, eager to keep reading. I have never read anything like it before! Secondly, the amount of rawness of human emotion truly has me in awe. While reading, I laughed, cried, and experienced a roller coaster of different emotions. Thirdly, Nelson’s captivating writing style kept me engaged. Her words and technique painted vivid explosions of color. Throughout the whole book, not once was I bored! Lastly, the character development sealed the book perfectly. Reading how the characters grew and developed left me in admiration. This story is beautifully told. “I’ll Give You The Sun” is undoubtedly a brilliant novel. There is truly nothing else like this book!
