jaw77 's review for:

I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
4.0

I had high expectations because a lot of people have gushed. The writing was euphoric and unbounded. The issues - identity, art, loyalty - were compelling. I think the reason I didn't Love it was I found it too jam packed. The magical realism of Grandma Sweetwater was fine, but I felt that same suspension of disbelief was necessary to take in all the interconnected plot lines, and their speedy resolution, and for me that was a bit too much.
