I’ll give you the sun – Rezension #16

„I’ll give you the sun“ ist eins meiner absoluten Lieblingsbücher.

---

Klappentext: At first, Jude and her twin brother Noah, are inseparable. Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude wears red-red lipstick, cliff-dives, and does all the talking for both of them.

Years later, they are barely speaking. Something has happened to change the twins in different yet equally devastating ways … but then Jude meets an intriguing, irresistible boy and a mysterious new mentor. The early years are Noah’s to tell; the later years are Jude’s. But they each have only half the story, and if they can only find their way back to one another, they’ll have a chance to remake their world.

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.

Die Geschichte ist spannend, teilweise lustig und auch unglaublich traurig. Alle Figuren, besonders die Zwillinge, sind mir ans Herz gewachsen. Im Buch geht es außerdem oft um Malerei und Bildhauerei, aber es ist auch ohne viel Vorwissen in diesen Bereichen gut zu verstehen.
