One of the things I love about this book is the fact the you see in on so many peoples lives. In several situations the person A is inhabiting is homesexual and it shows clearly how that isn't wrong. It also shows light on a girl who plans on committing suicide. I think it is a well written book that brings on a fresh philosophy.

I read this book on a recommendation and I am absolutely in love with it. The fact that the main character, A, wakes up in another person's life every day means that readers get to meet a miriad of unique characters. A touching story that makes you sad, mad, and happy all at once. I would highly recommend this to just about anyone that likes to read young adult fiction.

A. wakes up each morning in a different body and a different life. He only stays one day then his consciousness moves on to another person. This was a completely fascinating story. We see life how it is and how it can be, because the main character in the book sees all kinds of lives. I was sad when I got to the end of the book, because there were no more pages to read.

Levithan is a true magician when it comes to storytelling. His novels have fluidity and this is ranked amongst his highest. A is a compelling character that makes you think about your daily life. This novel is thought provoking and has an unexpected twists towards the end. The ending is alittle surprising and in my point of view a tad dissappointing but is worth the quick read.

Another absolutely amazing book by David Levithan. This man is my god. The book was heartwarming -and heartbreaking and I absolutely loved/hated the ending. A very emotional read; be prepared to feel very connected with and very empathetic with the characters. Recommended for everyone with an open mind and an open heart!

A clever book about a spirit called A who inhabits a different body every day. Each day he/she adapts to each person until the day he falls in love with Rhiannon. After that A realizes what he has been missing all his life and tries to figure out a way to keep being with Rhiannon. Interesting take on the boy meets girl genre, and the ending leaves an opening for future books.

One of the best books I've read in a while. A's character (err...characters) was so connectable. And the girls name (Rhiannon) just so happens to be one of MY favorite girl's NAME. Although, in the same sense, this novel was terrible!! But that's just me and my heart/brain that always wants a happy ending. If that's confusing...IT'S A GREAT BOOK! READ IT! Anywho, I feel somehow connected to Rhiannon. Maybe just by name. Her character seemed to be what I strive to be. While I read on about her, I kept wishing I was a person like that. Overall, this was an amazing book, even though it almost made me cry. Definetly worth the time!

A unique, intense and philosophical book about 'A' an entity that wakes up inside a different 16 year old's body each day. The author delves into many themes: love, gender, sexuality, ethics, free will, manipulation, opportunism . . .

I haven’t read anything else written or co-written by Levithan, so I can’t offer any comparisons to the wildly popular Will Grayson, Will Grayson or Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist, but I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It’s a quick read, but it brings up some pretty tough questions about gender and how we view ourselves. In the first respect, there are places where Levithan seems to get a bit preachy, but it was refreshing to hear meditations on gender so plainly and bluntly put, while still showing the grace of love across all genders and races through his characters. To be clear, gender is not the central aspect of the novel, but it is an important subtext, especially since A has no gender, or rather identifies as neither male nor female. Levithan handles this extremely well, and yet while reading, A sounded fairly male to me. Perhaps it was just because A’s love interest was female. This didn’t really bother me, and hopefully it won’t bother other readers. How often does a YA novel have a genderless, wholly human protagonist? What Levithan has done here certainly pushes boundaries, but in a very good way.

From the co-author of Will Grayson, Will Grayson, comes Every Day, a novel about someone who spends each day of their (the use of their is intentional, as this person is genderless, per se) life in a different body. A has been jumping from body to body each day of A’s life for as long as A can remember. Currently, A jumps through the bodies of 16 years olds. By now A has figured out the basic rules of the jump (every day at midnight, and never in the same body) and has set up some rules to live by in order to stay sane. Rule number one is don’t get attached. Rule number two is don’t interfere with the life of the body A is currently in. Things go as well as can be expected for A until A jumps into the body of 16 year old Justin. Justin himself is more or less a jerk. The problem for A is that A falls almost immediately for Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. The rest of the novel is spent working that whole snafu out. There are some fun plots twists in here, especially toward the end, so my summary will stop here.
