Every Day by David Levithan

Every Day

by David Levithan

From the genius of David Levithan, co-author of Will Grayson, Will Grayson, and Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, comes a love story like no other you've read before.

Each morning, A wakes up in a different body. There’s never any warning about who it will be, but A is used to that. Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere.

And that’s fine – until 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 – every day …

A stunningly original novel that will make you view the world from a different perspective. You can also read Rhiannon's side of the story in Another Day.

Levithan’s powerful novel explores the complexities of first love in a unique way that will captivate anybody who loved Rainbow Rowell’s Eleanor & Park and Jandy Nelson’s I’ll Give You the Sun.

David is the New York Times best-selling author of Boy Meets Boy and Marly’s Ghost. While among his many collaborations are Will Grayson, Will Grayson with Fault in Our Stars author John Green. David's latest collaboration with Rachel Cohn, The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily, was picked by Zoella for her Book Club with WHSmiths. David is also a highly respected children’s book editor, whose list includes many luminaries of children’s literature, including Garth Nix, Libba Bray and Suzanne Collins. He lives and works in New York.

“It's one thing to fall in love. It's another to feel someone else fall in love with you, and to feel a responsibility toward that love.”

Every day, A begins a new life in a new body, but just for one day. The concept immediately caught my attention, very original. But this is not simply a story of a soul that jumps from body to body, to me, it was about relationships -- with family, friends, lovers. How relationships can be complicated, joyous, satisfying or unsatisfying. Why we have relationships or don't. Why we stay or why we go. How relationships may be between different people, but still hold similarities, even if the outside "packaging" may vary.

I love Levithan and always enjoy his style, combine that with some really heartfelt characters (A & R), an interesting idea and you get a great read.
