emilyburdick 's review for:

I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
3.0
emotional slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book just did not resonate with me the way it seems to with so many people. It was incredibly well written and Jandy Nelson has a way with words but at the end of the day it just seemed like a classic YA contemporary filled with family drama and competing siblings. I was absolutely not a fan of the looooong chapters and if I hadn't listened to this on audiobook there's not a chance I would have finished it.
