Descrizione
A brilliant, luminous story of first love, family, loss, and betrayal for fans of John Green, David Levithan, and Rainbow Rowell
Jude and her brother, Noah, are incredibly close twins. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude surfs and cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and divisive ways…until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as an unpredictable new mentor. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they'd have a chance to remake their world.
This radiant, fully alive novel from the critically acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing-often all at once.

Recensioni
One of my all time favourites.
There are several kinds of love in the world, romantic love of course, the love of a parent for a child, the love between two adult lovers, the faded love of a relationship gone bad, the love of a grandmother for her grandchildren, and the intense love of two people in a new relationship.This book skillfully handles each and every one of those kinds of love. I would never have imagined that a YA book could be so powerful.
Seriously -- I have not been this enamored or engrossed in a read in quite a while. It was one of those books that was just so good, I'm almost hesitant to jump into another read right away -- it was a book that I didn't want to end, because I know I probably won't read something as fantastic in a long time.
Noah and Jude were both vibrant, amazing characters. The way the novel was written was so vivid and beautiful. Even though a lot of the novel is about art, I didn't need to know about art or physically see Noah's art in the book to be able to picture it vividly. The titles of Noah's artwork throughout his portions of the book were so easily brought to life in my mind through his descriptions, and the knowledge of what he was going through in the book.
Similarly, in Jude's sections of the novel, I was able to easily envision her unique look, as well as picture Oscar and Guillermo easily.
I don't really want to say anything specific about the storyline, because I think there is a magic in not knowing...but it was such a beautiful book about love, fate, truth, magic (both perceived and real), and the connections we have to one another and the world.
This book was beautiful and unique and so very worth a read.
