La historia de dos mellizos muy diferentes, uno introvertido y gay, la otra muy lanzada y decidida, y de cómo sus vidas se separan para volver a encontrarse años más tarde. Una novela salvaje y profundamente conmovedora, con una brillante historia sobre el primer amor, la familia y la traición. Ganadora del Premio Printz "por Excelencia en Literatura Young Adult". Noah y su hermana gemela Jude son inseparables. El solitario Noah dibuja sin parar, y se ha enamorado en secreto de su enigmático vecino. La atrevida Jude salta desde altísimos acantilados, se pinta los labios de rojo y habla hasta por los codos. Pero tres años después, a los 16, los hermanos ya no se hablan. Algo pasó entre ellos que arruinó dramáticamente su relación y los llevó por caminos diferentes. Entonces Jude conoce a un chico guapo, frágil y arrogante... y a alguien más, una nueva fuerza en su vida, todavía más impredecible y ligada a su pasado de forma inevitable. Los primeros años de esta historia los cuenta Noah; los últimos, Jude. Lo que ninguno comprende es que apenas conocen la mitad de la historia. Si tan sólo pudieran compartirla... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A New York Times bestseller One of Time Magazine’s 100 Best YA Books of All Time Winner of the Michael L. Printz Award A Stonewall Honor Book The radiant, award-winning story of first love, family, loss, and betrayal for fans of John Green, Becky Albertalli, and Adam Silvera “We were all heading for each other on a collision course, no matter what. Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.” At first, Jude and her twin brother are Noah and Jude; inseparable. Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude wears red-red lipstick, cliff-dives, and does all the talking for both of them. Years later, they are barely speaking. Something has happened to change the twins in different yet equally devastating ways . . . but then Jude meets an intriguing, irresistible boy and a mysterious new mentor. The early years are Noah’s to tell; the later years are Jude’s. But they each have only half the story, and if they can only find their way back to one another, they’ll have a chance to remake their world. From the acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere, this exhilarating novel will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once.

Red, White & Royal Blue
Another queer romance fighting secrecy and homophobia, but lighter, funnier, and explicitly steamy instead of aching and grief-soaked.
Tower of Dawn
Keeps the slow-burn healing-after-loss arc and forbidden attraction, but swaps art-school teens for epic fantasy war and open-door romance.
A Court of Thorns and Roses
Another young narrator swept into forbidden, consuming first love with secrets and grief underneath, but traded for fae magic and far more explicit heat.
Icebreaker
Also messy young love and found family after emotional damage, but it's a full HEA sports romance with explicit heat rather than grief-soaked art and secrets.
Rebel - The Renegades #3
Keeps the daredevil artistic intensity and one-wild-night pull of the seed, but it's far spicier, adult, and less focused on grief and siblings.
The Things We Leave Unfinished
Keeps the grief, buried family secrets and love mended through art, but ages up to adult dual-timeline romance with steam and a firm happy ending.
