How do I even begin to express how much this book enchanted me? I could say that this book now owns a special space in my heart but I think it'd be closer to reality if I said that it just stole my heart and is keeping it prisoner between its pages and is probably never letting it go because ... I freaking adored it so damn much!!
Ok, so, it's been a while since a book spoke to my feelings the way ''I'll Give You the Sun" did. The characters were all so well fleshed-out; they were imperfect, carried away by passion and made some serious mistakes during the whole book but their development was so gorgeous that they were just so relatable and lovable, each in their own way. It's one of those special times when you wish a fictional character was a real, breathing person. CJ was so fun and I just wanted to give Noah a hug and Guillermo is just so teacher goals and, yas, I totally have a crush on Oscar now.
The ships in this book are all so freaking cute and adorable and the relationships - whether romantic, platonic, between parents & children or between the two siblings - were so beautifully examined. Also, I have to say that I think this book had just the perfect represantation of jealousy and loss and treated those subjects with much sensitivity. The writing was so sentimental and the stunning quotes brought tears to my eyes. Will never forget how special this book is and probably will reread it many times in the future!
