I'll Give You The Sun Book Club

Our March Book Club Pick is I'll Give you the Sun by Jandy Nelson. Before we get into the book, we talk a little bit about Coronavirus and how we're feeling. This book is the perfect quarantine read as it feels a bit like a cozy warm hug.

The book is the story of Jude and Noah - twins who were once inseparable, but have now grown apart. Via alternating timelines, we learn the heartbreaking reasons that this has happened. Noah tells the story of their younger years, meanwhile Jude's timeline takes place three years later when they are 16. It's magically written and a feel good read… we can't recommend it enough!

Stay safe and healthy, and come join us in the Facebook group to talk about the book!
