Every Day by David Levithan




Book Summery (Via Goodreads): 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.

Book Review:
I had a lot of questions going into this book. How was "A" born? Did "A" have parents? Was "A" just soul or something more? Unfortunately, these questions didn't get answered. However, I still rather enjoyed the story. Levithan was able to take me out of my "comfort zone" and keep me interested all at the same time. I docked half a point because I felt that Levithan had the possibility to go deeper with this story. It's almost like skimming the surface of an ice burg whose top is peeking out of the water. There's definitely more that could be written/read here. Perhaps Levithan will makes this into a series? Either way, I enjoyed the overall story. Viewing the world through "A's" eyes was interesting and unique.  

Favorite Quote:
“There will always be more questions. Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go.” 

Cover Art Commentary:
Love the cover of this book! It gives the illusion of endless possibility.
