At first, Jude and her twin brother Noah, are 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.

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.

Jude en haar tweelingbroer Noah zijn op hun 13e onafscheidelijk, ondanks hun uiteenlopende karakters. Noah is introvert, tekent de hele dag en is in stilte verliefd op de buurjongen, terwijl Jude van de rotsen in zee springt, knalrode lippenstift draagt en genoeg praat voor hen allebei. Maar na een tragische gebeurtenis groeien Noah en Jude steeds meer uit elkaar. Drie jaar later spreken ze elkaar amper nog en lijkt hun band onherstelbaar beschadigd. Dan ontmoet Jude een eigenwijze, vreemde maar knappe jongen, die haar voorstelt aan iemand die haar hele leven (en dat van Noah) opnieuw omgooit.
