I'll Give You the Sun
by Jandy Nelson
Finally a happy ending, its feels great to finish a book and not cry. I absolutely loved this book it was just so realistic besides the ghost. The characters were going through real things and had real feelings that I related to on a deep level. My favorite thing about this book is the imagery the way the author describes the statues and Noahs painting is so extraordinary I feel like she’s is giving me the sun, trees and the stars all at once. My favorite quotes from this book is “Quick make a wish. Take a(second or third or fourth) chance. Remake the world” and “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.” and “"Or maybe a person is just made up of a lot of people," I say. "Maybe we're accumulating these new selves all the time." Hauling them in as we make choices, good and bad, as we screw up, step up, lose our minds, find our minds, fall apart, fall in love, as we grieve, grow, retreat from the world, dive into the world, as we make things, as we break things. He grins. "Each new self standing on the last one's shoulders until we're these wobbly people poles?" I love all of these quotes because they express the differences we have as human beings and how we can still all be connected by being in each stories and how in those stories we get as many chances as our grace allows us and it make me take solace in living and experiencing all the things the world has to offer.
