NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ONE OF TIME’S 100 BEST YA BOOKS OF ALL TIME • In this “bold, even breathtaking” (The New York Times Book Review) novel, fraternal twins find their way back to each other after years of misunderstandings and only having half the story.

“A blazing prismatic explosion of color.”—Entertainment Weekly

“An exquisite surrender to wonder and possibilities.”—The Boston Globe

“Powerful and well-crafted . . . Stunning.”—Time

Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them.

But three years later, at sixteen, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else—an even more unpredictable new force in her life.

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 each other, they’d have a chance to remake their world.

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

Miiiight be one of my new favourite books?? I'm not sure!! This was just so amazing to listen to :))! I actually went into this with lower expectations because of one (or both?? forgot the contents of the other) of the other reviews' critiques of the performance and after starting it, I think I understood what they meant LMFAO but I got used to it eventually - it might just be something with me, though, and how I don't necessarily have a good ear for distinguishing accents so it wasn't toooo? big of a issue for me but yeah :) I think the most jarring thing was maybe the difference in Noah's voice between both narrators, but that's about all lol. I'm rambling!!! This story is actually soooo good I loved it so much, actually amazing story, amazing characters, I do recommend!!!

Amazing amazing story!!

This is an example of why having two narrators doesn't work. When they do completely different voices and accents for the same character it just ruins the whole thing. There is a character with a British accent. The female narrator makes him sound like Hugh Grant and the male narrator makes him sound like a slightly Australian Oliver Twist. It was painful.
