This
book is an example of a great concept beautifully executed.
The
text on the front cover reads:
Every day a different body.
Every day a different life.
Every day in love with the same
girl.
Reading
those lines, you just know there's gonna be some great conflict happening.
Some
days A is a boy, like the day he meets Rhiannon after waking up in her
boyfriend Justin’s body. A falls in love
with Rhiannon, but how can he have a relationship with someone when tomorrow he
will be someone else.
Some
days A is a girl, like the day he wakes up in love-of-his-life Rhiannon’s body. Awkward!
David
Levithan touches on a breathtaking array of issues – love, gender, depression, addiction
and modern slavery among many others – treating each with great tenderness to
create a deeply profound, must-read story.
The
Best Bit of Every Day:
There
will always be more questions. Every answer leads to more questions. The only
way to survive is to let some of them go. – David Levithan
(This
was a tough choice though – see http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/18464379-every-day
to see what I mean. Better yet, read the
book!)
