I'll Give You The Sun By Jandy Nelson
 
                                         




     Honestly, the only reason I got this book was because the cover looked unique... yeah. I judged a book by it's cover. This is a dichotomous book because it is told through the perspectives of  two twins; Noah and Jude. They used to be best friends and would tell each other everything. But somewhere along the way, they lost each other. (I know what happened but, I wont reveal it) The book jumps between their perspectives and time periods too, which is a bit confusing at first. It's like a puzzle, you are constantly piecing together a bigger picture. They have their half of the story but what they don't realize is that if they could somehow just tell each other their story, they can fix their dispute. Even when they are mad at each other, they secretly make sure the other one is okay. 

      This book has a lot of inappropriate words at the beginning around pages 1-20 or maybe 25, but then the strong language dials down. This book is extremely detailed about the surrounding, what the characters are doing, and the dialogue is well fitting to the characters. Besides these great qualities this book has, the only complaint I would have is the chapters are incredibly long. Maybe 25- 30 pages each. And I personally like books with smaller chapters because it gives me a sense of accomplishment and it's a nice place to put the book down. In this book I have to stop in the middle of the chapter which I don't like. But overall this book is a great read for both girls and guys and should be an intriguing journey for the reader.
