Aleap asked this question about I'll Give You the Sun:
Would this title be acceptable to recommend to middle schoolers or is this intended for older young adults?
Jane the question is old, so you probably don't care anymore, but I read this when I was 13 and loved it. I wouldn't recommend it to a random middle school…morethe question is old, so you probably don't care anymore, but I read this when I was 13 and loved it. I wouldn't recommend it to a random middle schooler, though. The sex is kind of graphic and at one point underage. There's lots of drinking and nudity too. But if you think they are mature, then go right on ahead. I forced some of my reader friends to read it, but I described it to my friends who don't read and they were freaked out by all the NSFW stuff.(less)
