I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
4.0

The last line of the book's description nails it: "...will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once." Both heartbreaking and lovely, this book is a must-read! I do have to say that the writing style took me a minute to get used to (ex. Noah's over-active artist imagination) but once I figured out what was going on, I absolutely loved it.

Favorite Lines:
"This is what I want: I want to grab my brother's hand and run back through time, losing years like coats falling from our shoulders."

"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."

"I remember Guillermo saying the cracks and breaks were the best and most interesting parts of the work in my portfolio. Perhaps it's the same with people and their cracks and breaks."
