Jandy Nelson writes contemporary young adult fiction about grief, siblings, art and first love, using highly expressive narrators and nonlinear structure. I'll Give You the Sun follows twins Jude and Noah at different ages, with each sibling narrating a separate period and withholding information the other does not know. Their changing relationship, artistic ambitions and family loss gradually connect the two halves of the story. The Sky Is Everywhere follows Lennie after the sudden death of her sister, using poems and notes alongside prose to show how grief affects friendship and attraction. Nelson's writing is vivid, emotional and strongly voice-driven, fitting contemporary YA, sibling fiction and art-centred coming-of-age stories. Read more Less
