Summary: Blood Brothers

I picked this passage/quote because what is a family if siblings don’t fight. Jude said this to Noah after he blurted out that she was jealous. Jude was jealous, but not because Noah and their mother had a stronger bond. Because her mother didn’t look at her drawings. She only saw Noah’s and liked them a lot. This novel worked so well with my theme with the twins fighting the parents not knowing what’s going on but hurting the situation more because they don’t love each other like they use to. Siblings teasing each other and knowing that they hurt each other’s feelings. After Noah said that she was jealous and Jude said, “She’s my mom too. Why can’t you share?” Noah felt so guilty at that moment and wanted to apologize immediately. He felt like Jude didn’t have a good enough reason to be jealous because she had dad on her side.
Noah thought that it was cool that his mom favored him over Jude, but wanted his father to know that Noah wanted to become the guy his dad imagined. Noah and his dad were watching football and talking sports when Jude was out surfing with her boyfriend, and their mom was seeing someone else. Their mother went crazy for a bit by saying that she started to bake even though she didn’t like to, and she would always lie about where she was going until Noah found out that she was seeing someone.When Noah and Jude’s mother died it wasn’t the same they weren’t NoahandJude anymore they switched lives. I know that family isn't perfect, but when this book started it seemed perfect, then everything came crashing down. Noah couldn’t stop his mom from going to give the divorce papers to his dad, and that’s when she died. Noah blames himself for his mother leaving that day, and it changed his life
