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.

Good, but slightly confusing
This is a generous 4 stars. At first the story of Jude and Noah started off making sense then once if got further in, it seemed to unravel more than make sense. Towards the end the last 100 pages reworked themselves into the story so it made sense. Nelson started off with a clear story, broke it a part and then put it back together. The end made it a 4. This story is unique to itself in a thoughtful way. I think I also liked it because the situation is relatable in a way only twins will understand, I think.
