“I gave up practically the whole world for you,” I tell him, walking through the front door of my own love story. “The sun, stars, ocean, trees, everything, I gave it all up for you.” If I HAD to pick a favorite book of all time, this would be it!! Jandy Nelson has a writing-style that is distinctly her own, I was captivated from the very first page. This is a story about Noah and June, who are twins. Anytime a chapter is from Jude's point of view, she is narrating in the present-day (the twins are 16 years old). If a chapter is in Noah's point of view, you get to go back in time and see the twins at age 13. By the end of the story, you understand why/how certain events in the twins lives impact one another in a very profound way. This is a story of siblings, love, loss, forgiveness, growing up, growing apart, and finding yourself. --Alexa (see more of my picks by following WoodneathAlexa)
