elizabell08 shared a tip "MOST AMAZING BOOK if you love art, and understanding how beautifully different people see different things about life, just a real eye opener that everything around you is so beautiful when you stop and actually let it all sink in"

megara._. shared a tip "read this one a WHILE ago, like january i think 💀 that said, i still remember it vividly, i also remember how much i freaking loved this book. the duel timelines made me so happy ✨ i love noah and jude so much!! noah’s character is SO interesting to me, he is so complex and has so many layers. it left me wanting so much more (in the best way) jude’s character was definitely very intriguing, especially towards the end of the book! definitely recommend:) 🌟5🌟"

alena_zalusky shared a tip "favourite book of all time. very interesting concept that sucks you into the book. i could not put it down when i first read it years ago, and my copy is very well loved and annotated."

clairestmarie shared a tip "i love this book. makes me want to get into art so much. love noah and jude and their dynamic. youll be surprised/ satisfied how everything connects and ends up. so sad and heartbreaking but beautiful. realistic, couldn’t put it down, finished it in 2 1/2 days. recommend for sure if you like lgbtq representation and teen drama type of stuff"

jokers_wife_but_che shared a tip "This book was amazing. I loved the raw emotion of it. Jandy also has another standalone; "The Sky is Everywhere". They're both very underrated and I think she'll write another one if we spread her others."

sara_pelland shared a tip "FAVOURITE BOOK EVER. No book has ever made me feel at home quite like this one. An amazing tale of loss and coping, a romance, a story of family. I can't reccomend this book more. And gorgeous descriptions of the arts! Makes you want to go out and paint something"

I have page 239 hung up on my wall. This story is such a comfort story for me. I definitely recommend for anyone who appreciates small things."

alexandria_highland shared a tip "It's been a long time since I've read it, but what tied me into the story was the prose and the structure. I loved the POVs being in different times. I suppose having all the events come together was my favorite part"

andrea_truitt shared a tip "i cant begin to express how many tags i have in the book for parts that i loved, parts that made me cry, lines that made me laugh, and more. this book will make you laugh, leave you in tears, and push you to show your loved ones glow much you appreciate them. no doubt a new all time favorite of mine."

artm shared a tip "Whilst I didn't agree with some things like the age gap that worked itself out in the end. The book was a wonderful read in my opinion and I liked it a lot. There was a lot of emotion the melted into me from the book immediately and left me content."

BrettPrynne shared a tip "It’s been years since I read this, but still a favorite book of mine. Such a cute LGBQT+ story about loss and family and the power of creation. Also vivid prose."

m0thc0re shared a tip "it's my favorite book, of all time, without fail. it changed my life. it's written from two different perspectives- noah, and his twin sister jude. jude's perspective is set in the future, three years ahead of noah's. please please read this. noah falls in love with the boy next door, and a tragedy separates noah and jude. its such an incredible read and really really impacted my life as a thirteen year old."

jolee_condol shared a tip "Leaves you hanging onto the edge of every word, holding your breath. Brings a whirlwind of back and forth emotions and is overall exhilarating!"

keona_rockwood shared a tip "Some the most beautiful writing I’ve ever read. Incredible imagery, the way things were described were incredible. Also loved the double point of view, it was like a 2 in 1 story but one story didn’t take away from the other."

addy_beistel shared a tip "My favorite novel atm.I love how we can see both Noah and Jude’s thoughts and feeling,and I love the creative writing style.This book definitely changed me in a way no other one book ever has."

autumn_snell shared a tip "This book works really well to be read aloud. There were so many nuances and it's one of the best instances of an unreliable narrator I've seen. Loved it!"

tylor_gax shared a tip "This book put me through an emotional roller coaster, the storytelling, the switching POVs, and the characters are wonderful but yet not without flaws making them relatable. Additionally, the humor, the way the grieving was shown, and the queer representation were done lovely. Definitely worth a read. #drama #romance #family #lgbt"

caylaa_makimaa shared a tip "This book was absolutely amazing! I loved how the story unfolds and how in the end both perspectives of Noah and Jude come together! I would absolutely read this book again in a heartbeat and recommend it to everyone!"

bailey_903 shared a tip "Young sexual tension that we all want to experience again. And the use of art and color and description is so well done, but not done too seriously. Lots of wit."

nyrice_watkins shared a tip "As an artist, this book filled and inspired me an so many way. It's not great, until you close the book, take a deep breath, and smile."

alliebananna shared a tip "AHHHH LOVE THIS BOOK. So much happens and it’s so amazing to watch everything come together, and to watch Noah and Jude fall in love. To grow as people. Their parents and almost parents finding peace and being amazing people. Let me just say Noah and Brian’s first kiss gave me chills. Or as Jude would say, global warming. Both Noah and Brian, and Jude and Oscar are suchhhhh cuteeeee couplessssss!!! Love this book!!"
