Every Day

by David Levithan

"Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl.

There’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that, even established guidelines by which to live: Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere.

It’s all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone he wants to be with—day in, day out, day after day."

Every Day was not what I expected, but I say that in the best possible way. Its analysis of the dynamics between the individual and the whole was intriguing and insightful; its emphasis on "the enormity", inspiring. I couldn't put the book down, and I loved it from cover to cover. I felt welcomed by the storyline, as if its characters would not judge me, because of all of the experiences A has gone through. This book encouraged me to try and see things from the perspective of others, and to be more considerate of people I know. Amazing.

I've really got to get my hands on some more David Levithan novels...

5/5 stars.
