About this item
A brilliant, luminous story of first love, family, loss, and betrayal for fans of John Green, David Levithan, and Rainbow RowellJude and her brother, Noah, are incredibly close twins. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude surfs and cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and divisive waysuntil Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as an unpredictable new mentor. The early years are Noahs story to tell. The later years are Judes. What the twins dont realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, theyd have a chance to remake their world.
