“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.

" This is the big one—the blazing story of once inseparable twins whose lives are torn apart by tragedy."— Entertainment Weekly, "5 YA Novels to Watch Out For"

"Dazzling."— The New York Times Book Review

"Have you ever wanted to put a book in all of your friends hands? This is that kind of book . . . Heartbreakingly honest."— San Francisco Chronicle

"Bold, even breathtaking. You get the sense [the] characters are bursting through the words, breaking free of normal metaphors and constructions, jubilantly trying to rise up from the prison of language . . . The book celebrates art’s capacity to heal, but it also shows us how we excavate meaning from the art we cherish, and how we find reflections of ourselves within it. . . . I’ll Give You the Sun is a dazzling mirror"—Lauren Oliver for the New York Times Book Review

"Both structurally virtuosic . . . and emotionally wrenching. That alone is a rare combination in literature, YA or otherwise. But then add in the characters . . . This book is a rebuttal to anyone suggesting YA, because it tells stories of young people, is somehow of lesser stuff. I’ll Give You The Sun is literature. Full stop. In my opinion, it’s not just the best YA book of the year, but one of the best books of the year."—Gayle Forman for Parade

"This book is many things at once, all of them engrossing. Its a book where teenagers think in almost indulgently poetic language while still sounding genuinely adolescent. Its two separate but equally intoxicating love stories. . . . Most of all, its the mystery of what happened to tear Noah and Jude apart, and what—if anything—can bring them back together again."—NPRs Guide to 2014s Great Reads

"This book is about many things: grief, sexuality, creativity, bravery, identity, guilt. But mostly its about love. Be prepared with more tissues than you needed for The Fault in Our Stars, a chunky notebook to scribble down all the quotes and a handful of witty responses when people ask why youre chuckling to yourself in the corner. Because this book will make you realise how beautiful words can be."— The Guardian

"Simply unforgettable. . . . If you’re looking for a book that’s deep and powerful and beautiful, look no further. You must read I’ll Give You the Sun."—Lisa Parkin for the Huffington Post’s “Top 12 Young Adult Books of 2014”
