Books I've Loved - Every Day
This is a really interesting book and I read it in one sitting, unable to put it down. It's hard to describe a story where the protagonist is as ethereal as A, but even though A has no body of his /her own, A has a distinct personality. A also has a great sense of humor which I guess you have to have when you don't know day to day who you're going to wake up as.
A is resilient enough to survive this upheaval and for the most part doesn't cary parts of previous lives on to the next body. But Rhiannon is different, and watching A negotiate a crush while in different bodies is compelling stuff.
If you don't believe me, here's the blurb…
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.

Sounds like a good read!
ReplyDeleteInteresting concept. I've heard good things about David Levithan, so maybe I'll check it out.
