Waiting on Wednesday: I'll Give You The Sun


Waiting on Wednesday is weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine, where we spotlight upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.

My WoW this week is:

I'll Give You The Sun
By Jandy Nelson
Hardcover
Expected Publication: September 16, 2014

From Goodreads:

Jude and her brother, Noah, are incredibly close twins. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude surfs and cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and divisive ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as an unpredictable new mentor. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world.
 
This radiant, fully alive, sometimes very funny novel from the critically acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once. 


I loved The Sky is Everywhere, so if this one is anything like that, I'll love it as well. Nelson's writing is beautiful and her characters leap off the pages. I'm excited for another book from her!

What's your Waiting on Wednesday? Let me know!
