This is such a fun prompt; YA literature used to be my jam! Here are three coming-of-age novels I love and highly recommend (they also happen to be great LGBTQ+ books):
1. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
2. The Gentlemen's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee
3. When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore #TLT #ThreeListThursday #LGBTQ @dabbe
This novel is so far about twins, Jude and Noah, who are polar opposites. Although they were very different, they were still very close. Jude was the popular, pretty, social one who everyone loved, while Noah was the quiet one with few to no friends, and spent all of his time drawing. But after their mother tragicly dies and they start highschool, things change. They end up having extremly different lives and personalities then before...
pickI finished this book in a day...I can't remember the last time that happened.
pickRead at the beginning of this month. This book was like a tv soap opera. A lot of drama with many family secrets, everyone deceived someone😳and everything was connected. I liked Guillermo character, a sculpture so intense in his emotions. I think the ending was a little too convenient, cheesy. Noah was lucky at the end (no spoiler🤷🏽♀️) but Noah‘s anguish was so sad. That scene with his dad😢Oscar just made me laugh☺️ 3.5/3.8⭐️
pickI'll Give You the Sun is a fiction novel published in 2014. It is written by Jandy Nelson. This book follows two twins, Jude and Noah. They were first inseparable but years later, they are barely speaking. The story switches between both their points of view. It has won many awards including the Printz Award, Bank Street's 2015 Josette Frank Award, the Rainbow List Top Ten 2015, and YALSA Top Ten Best Fiction for Young Adults.
pickAlthough I don‘t recall much about this book, I know that thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It has such complex stories split between the twins, and the journey of finding each other again is really beautiful. I recommend looking into this one❤️
This book follows the lives of two twins, Noah and Jude, as they fall in love and go through the ups and downs of life and grow apart. An interesting thing about this story is that it‘s told from alternative point of views, at different stages of their lives.

so-soI finished this book, I have to say that it‘s a good book. But, it‘s just not for me. This is quite a different genre than what I like, and so I didn‘t enjoy it as much. I loved the visuals that were given, and the writing was also very nice, although, this book didn‘t impact me so much. I‘m giving this, ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.
Again, this doesn‘t mean that the book is bad, it‘s just a personal rating. Your rating might be different, and that‘s okay. :)

Weird thought, but what if you have an allergy?
I‘m sorry-
It‘s late into the night and my brain has completely refused to cooperate.
I haven‘t read this book but I‘m giving it a pick because my son, who has always had trouble reading and does not like reading, loves it.
pickLove, love, love this book and especially Jude. Love how all these characters intersect, even when they don't know it, and I love everyone ultimately starting to heal at the end. #wherethehellisralph #yalit #latergram
picki haven‘t read this book since 7th grade and at first i was kind of struggling through it. but i love the writing style and all the metaphors and creativity. and i love the intricateness and how everything is tied up and has a happy ending
pickWhat a beautifully written book!
A story told from two perspectives..Jude and her twin brother Noah..in a unique and fantastical way. The way Noah sees the world in brilliant bursts of art kills me. He captures what he is feeling by making them into drawings in his mind (or on paper)- I love Noah. Actually I love all these characters! The book is very good. The storyline is interesting and keeps you guessing as you try to fill in what happened.
pickIs it just me or are there a ton of books about twins lately? I read 2 this month!
The things that kept me reading this YA were 2:
First, the absolutely immersive passion that several characters have for their various art forms. I know that feeling, and it‘s something every artist hopes and works for.
Second, the M/M first love storyline- Noah and Brian forever! They had my blood running hot, for sure 🥰.
Hard to get into, heavy content.
I‘m on the loveseat in my library and Sietje is in my cozy reading chair. She looks so out cold I won‘t move her.
This book took my a while to get into. But halfway through now and happy to sink into it for a few hours. There are some interesting characters and lots of artsy talk. 😊📚
“I gave up practically the whole world for you,” I tell him, walking through the front door of my own love story. “The sun, stars, ocean, trees, everything, I gave it all up for you.
“What is bad for the heart is good for art. The terrible irony of our lives as artists.”
“No woman can resist a man who has tidal waves and earthquakes beneath the skin.”
so-soYeah.... it‘s ok? At times indulgent, others cliche and then sometimes quite poignant.
“People think people are in charge, but they‘re wrong; it‘s the trees.”

I am loving the family banter in this YA novel. And my pretty metallic bookmark😊
pick#ReadYourSign book twelve: I‘ll Give You the Sun, which features my ruling planet in the title. Whoa. This was all kinds of intense, but ended so beautifully and with so much hope. It also reminded me of Holes, with how seamlessly all the different-time-period pieces fell into place by the end.
“I gave up practically the whole world for you,” I tell him, walking through the front door of my own love story. “The sun, stars, ocean, trees, everything, I gave it all up for you.”
I am personally loving this story and I just want to talk about it 😍
pickReally enjoyed this book. And it's also one of my favourite pictures I have ever taken of my books. Do you have a bookstagram account? I used to but then I was never happy nor had the time to dedicate myself to it.

Hoping everyone's day is filled with sunshine.
so-soOkay, my friends love this book but I wasn‘t equally smitten. I did like the unique figurative language, but it was overdone at times. The tone in this is overwrought at times, as well. Almost every character is steeped in a thick miasma of guilt, shame, despair, and equally cheerful emotions. There‘s plenty of insta-love to go around, and The End! It‘s a much-loved book, though, so don‘t take my word for it!
pickI managed to finish two more books off of my personal shelf for #MarchUnshelfing today! I‘ve got a handful of other books downloaded and I‘m ready to jump into #24B4Monday! I start work at 11:30pm, and the Readathon starts right at midnight. Bring on the audiobooks! 😉
bailedY‘all. I can‘t believe I‘m bailing on this book but...I am. I LOVED the prose — it was lovely, moving, & full of great characterization. I just couldn‘t do the switching POVs. Yes, I was warned it was that kind of book, but even so, switching characters, not to mention the time jump back & forth every time we switched characters, was too much for me. I look forward to trying other things by this author though!
Noah's mom found out he was dating the next door neighbor and Jude was finishing her sculpture. I predict that Noah and his mom are going to have a talk and Jude will have a great sculpture.
This book switches prospective from twins and how there world are different and I kind of like it. It gets confusing sometimes.
panHad such a good weekend! I had a skating competition in CT, so I got to visit the Wadsworth Athenaeum and saw their Hudson River School works (my favorite!). I‘ve slowed down reading the past few days since I picked up this book, and I just can‘t get into it for some reason. I think I‘m going to put it down and come back to it later. Now to decide what‘s next 🧐
Jude and Noah are talking to each other again and soon they will be moving also Jude's and Noah's Mother is dead now because of a car crash. I predict they will soon move into there new house.
#currentlyreading | 3% in and already doing heart-eyes so...this gonna be gooooood 😍
I dislike how there is no real chapters and the character are not as close each other.

The synopsis had me wanting to read the book, looking forward to the novel structure.
NoahandJude, artists and twins who were very close when they were younger. However, after some tragic events, they drifted away until things started to make sense at the end. Their younger years were told by Noah while Jude told the rest.
pickSo..... I love this book, first when I read the point of view of noah I don't like her twin sister jude, but when I read the point of view of jude, I regret hating her. I like the plot of the story, I really felt sad about the conflict between the twins, the parents and child love, and their first loves
