My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

I'll Give you the Sun by Jandy Nelson

This has got to be one the best YA novels I’ve read in a long time. It’s the story of a twin brother and a sister, Jude and Noah, and how the secrets they keep create misconceptions that ruin their relationship. The writing is excellent and I love the structure of the novel, how it goes back and forth between the two characters but at different points in time.   It’s a wonderful book.  Grade: A
