Bøger af Jandy Nelson

Jude og Noah er tvillinger, men gør alt for at undgå hinanden. Noah er indadvendt og passioneret omkring sin kunst. Han tegner og maler og forelsker sig i den karismatiske nabodreng. Jude er den udadvendte søster, som går med knaldrød læbestift og surfer med de cool fyre. For tre år siden var de uadskillelige, men nu taler de slet ikke sammen. Hvad er der sket? Alt er forandret: Jude går på den kunstskole, som Noah så brændende ønskede sig ind på, deres mor er død i en tragisk ulykke, og inden ulykken flyttede faren fra familien. Noah fortæller om årene op til bruddet, mens Jude fortæller om de senere år. Hver især kender de kun halvdelen af historien. Hvis de vil vide, hvad der egentlig skete i familien; hvis de skal have en chance for at komme videre, så er de nødt til at finde ind til hinanden igen og dele deres historier.

Lennies storesøster Bailey dør pludselig en dag. En fatal hjertefejl viser det sig. Lennie kan ikke acceptere tabet, og sorgen vælter hende konstant omkuld, hver gang hun rejser sig bare den mindste smule. I sorgen finder hun og Baileys kæreste Toby sammen. De nærer hinandens længsel og føler, at når de er sammen, bliver Bailey en lille smule levende igen. Men en dag står Joe og banker på Lennies dør. Den nye fyr på skolen, der aldrig har kendt Bailey, og som puster til den glød, der ulmer i Lennie. En længsel efter at leve igen, som Lennie bare ikke vil give plads til. Men Joe er stædig, og Lennie er pludselig splittet mellem Toby, der giver Bailey liv, og Joe, der giver Lennie liv.

Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to centre stage of her own life - and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey's boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie's own. Joe is the new boy in town, with a nearly magical grin. One boy takes Lennie out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But the two can't collide without Lennie's world exploding...
