Synopsis
"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.
There are those books in which the guy changes how the girl sees the world, and those in which happens the other way around. This was neither. This story made me, be the one to change how I see the world.
Every Day was a wonderful book. I loved how every chapter was a day and if we want to get more technical, the writing is awesome too. Not especially poetic, or super deep. The simple voice of A worked well with the cover and the tone of the story.
*A doesn’t have a gender, so I’ll just say the name, or the pronouns him/his to avoid confusion.
I was a bit suspicious about how quickly A ditched his supposed rules because of falling in love with Rhiannon, but it was a minor thing compared to the awesomeness of this book.
Aside from the main plot of the story that ties these two people together, I enjoyed very much the little subplots and conflicts each host of A’s presented. We see a girl with serious suicidal thoughts, a guy with other troubles, someone with anxiety, some nice people, people who were gay… etc. This look into other teenagers’ heads was eye-opening. It isn’t like I live under a rock, but for someone to actually experience all of these things… it was just a really great, new perspective to have.
A heads up: There will be some questions about how exactly is A possible, and other things like that. If you like everything to have explanations, then maybe you should tread carefully.
As I explain in my post LGBT Books and Me, this book, which I hadn’t realized was LGBT until I saw the label in GR, totally made me question my beliefs. I have a better understanding of friends who are bi, and about the world in general.
Halfway I realized this wasn’t going to end in the kind of happy ending I always expect and love. But this one worked too, because it was just… disappointing enough to be real, and happy enough to please me.
GO GET THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY!
