“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.”

At first, Jude and her twin brother are NoahandJude; 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.

This radiant, award-winning novel from the acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once.

so good

loved the book, the audiobook is just as good. lyrical, some “problematic” relationships that truly feel are common and maybe should not be held against the author, a lot of hurt went into this book and a lot of healing. sometimes it comes in disguise.

Simply poetic

This book reminded me that things happen even when you may not want them to. No matter what, we must learn and continue on our path because, eventually, we will get to where we were meant to be!

Amazing

Amazing dualing narratives. The story is captivating, the narration is superb, the coming of age is real.

Healed me in so many ways

I’m a young teen, who struggled with simply being gay in America. This book showed me so many things. I can’t thank it enough for that.

Underage risky behaviors

I was looking forward to a captivating story with a great plot. The vocabulary is a lot of fun, but thats where my positivity for this book ends. This book was not great. The 13 year olds are often involved in sex, alcohol, and smoking. I don't enjoy any book that promotes such risky behavior from children. It romanticizes children breaking the law and hurting their bodies from substance use. Just want to make sure people truly know what they are buying before they get this book.
