The novel is about twins, Jude and her brother Noah. Although the twins were incredibly close at thirteen, three years later they are hardly speaking to each other. The early years are narrated by Noah as he struggles with an enormous secret that affects his past, present, and future.

Jude also encounters a tormented, mysterious artist -- an even more unpredictable force that changes her life, and Noah 's, forever. Contents 1 Plot 2 Themes 3 Style 4 Background 5 Reception 6 Awards 7 References Plot Noah and Jude Sweetwine are twins. As they enter their teen years, they grow apart. This is partly due to their sibling rivalry, as they both compete for the attention of their mother, Dianna ; and partly due to their struggle to be able to understand their separate identities. Furthermore, both twins want to apply to the same highly competitive art school. On one hand, Noah clearly revels in his artistic talent, while hiding the fact that he is crushing on a neighborhood boy named Brian. On the other hand, Jude is reserved about her art, but is openly welcome to male attention. The early years are from Noah 's point of view. By spying on her, Noah is aware of Jude 's artistic abilities. However, he does whatever he can to stop their mother from realizing Jude 's gift. One day, Dianna walks in on Noah and Brian naked together. Noah is horrified and wrongly embarrassed, because he is gay. Brian freaks out because he is still in the closet and ends their relationship. Then, Noah discovers his mom having an affair after he sees Dianna kissing the local sculptor, Guillermo Garcia. Noah runs away, and leaves a drawing of the scene on Dianna 's bed. Dianna talks with Noah to say that she is in love with Guillermo and wants to divorce his dad. The two fight and Dianna drives away to go propose to Guillermo. On the way, Dianna gets into a fatal accident and dies. Noah seeks Guillermo out to yell at him and lies by saying that his parents were planning to stay together. Furthermore, Noah is under the impression that his application to art school was rejected. He is lost, confused, and still hung up over Brian. The later years are from Jude 's point of view. Evidently, instead of ensuring both of their applications were mailed out, Jude threw away Noah 's application and only sent out her own. Jude is not doing well coping with her mother 's death. She is miserable in school and is nearly failing out. She is convinced that her mother 's ghost is destroying all her art. Therefore, she finds Guillermo Garcia, who she convinces to take her on as an apprentice. Jude wants to make stone sculptors that, she believes, her mother will be unable to demolish. Meanwhile, Jude finds herself hopelessly attracted to Oscar, a British boy who Guillermo views like a son. Oscar flirts with Jude but she does not allow it to go far because she has sworn off boys. The day Dianna got into the accident, Jude was having sex for the first time. The experience was awful and Jude feels responsible for her mother 's death. Working on her stone sculpture helps Jude process her issues. She knows that she needs to tell Noah about what she did with his art school application. Meanwhile, Noah has discovered that Guillermo is Jude 's mentor. He is concerned that Jude will learn that Noah was responsible for their mother 's accident. Hopelessly, Noah gets drunk during a drinking game and nearly commits suicide by jumping off a cliff. However, Jude and Oscar stop him. The twins talk and reveal all their secrets to each other. Noah reveals Dianna 's affair with Guillermo and Jude tells him about the sabotaged art application. Guillermo is relieved Dianna still loved him when she died and wants to continue to mentor Jude. Oscar and Jude admit to their feelings for each other. Noah is finally accepted into art school, and gets back together with Brian who is now openly gay. With all their misunderstandings cleared up, the twins are ready to reconnect and rebuild their relationship. Themes This section does not cite any sources.

Jude and Noah narrate the same story, just from their own, different perspectives. Also, Jandy Nelson constantly utilizes vivid imagery to describe her characters, their actions, and their emotions. These emotions play a large part in the plot, as the characters ' complex emotions contribute to the intricacy of the plot. However, Nelson 's writing is compassionate, which helps make her characters relatable and lovable, despite their many flaws. Background When asked where the idea for I 'll Give You the Sun, Nelson responds that, `` These characters -- Jude and Noah -- pretty much crash - landed in my brain, almost fully formed. They brought with them this tragedy and their `` first love '' stories. '' She mentions the complications that came with writing this novel, `` The challenge became how to tell their really complicated story, because there is a lot going on between and among all these characters. '' Nelson talks about the different approach and writing process she took with this novel. She says, `` The Sky Is Everywhere I wrote like a normal person, but for this book I wrote the entire thing in a pitch - black room with earplugs in. The only available light was the light coming from the computer screen. '' Apparently, this process worked, as Nelson continues by commenting, `` There was something about being in that dark room like a lunatic, not letting my world in at all, that allowed me to stay in their story. '' Reception I 'll Give You the Sun received an overwhelming amount of positive reviews. The New York Times praised the novel by calling it, `` Breathtaking. You get the sense ( the ) characters are bursting through the words, breaking free of normal metaphors and constructions, jubilantly trying to rise up from the prison of language... '' Likewise, The Guardian said that I 'll Give You the Sun is ``... About many things : grief, sexuality, creativity, bravery, identity, guilt. But mostly it 's about love... This book will make you realize how beautiful words can be.
