From the start this book was unlike anything I had ever read before, or likely anything I will ever read in future. Throughout the story, A travels through many different bodies from all different walks of life. A isn't a boy or a girl, and A doesn't really know who they are. Until A met Rhiannon, A had no need or wish to understand who A was from day to day. Levithan's story is both moving and encapsulating, it had me hooked from the very beginning. A's lifestyle is like no one else's and Levithan manages to portray it fantastically. The thoughts that go through A's mind as A tries to live a new persons life every day, all the time being hooked on the thoughts of Rhiannon, feel real and A's character is engaging to follow. The big theme of this book is identity, and for A finding out what that is. The bodies A inhabits come from a multitude of backgrounds, depicting a realistic and insightful look at the modern world, showing it's ups and downs. It shows the wide variety of identities there are out there, that everyone is different and that you can find and accept your own identity. My only downside was that I felt it would be interesting to explore more of A's world outside of Rhiannon, there were brief glimpses but the book was very plot centric. This is not a big downside at all, but I would have liked to learn more about A outside of their relationship. In all it was a powerful book, well-written and un-put-down-able! I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of John Green, or realistic teen-fiction. David Levithan is a fantastic writer, and I look forward to reading more of his work.

Every day A wakes up in a different body. They get no warning and no explanation. Having long since adapted to their life, A lives each day in someone else’s life, respectful of their host and claiming nothing for themselves. But one day A falls in love, and everything changes. For the first time A truly wants something for themselves, wants to be known, wants to BE. What follows is an insightful and honest look at love and identity as A begins to truly interact with another person for the first time. I’ve read, and loved, a lot of his previous books but this is easily my favourite. It’s a fantastic book; unique, truthful, moving (without being sentimental), and funny, and certainly one of the best YA reads of the year.

Given the plot, you may think of this as science fiction but it’s more than that. It’s a vehicle, obviously. A story telling device for a complex situation with complex feelings. The plot is simple, falling in love with a personality. That’s all A is, a consciousness with no control over which body they will inhabit next. Gender is fluid in this tale of young love. Almost like a modern day Romeo and Juliet because it’s a love that can never be. The author has a passionate understanding of youth and human beings. Never once did I doubt the existence of A. Levithan balances the supernatural aspect of it because his focus is human emotions and craving ‘normal’. Normal is other people: be interesting, be special. That is certainly the lesson A teaches to Rhiannon, although she may not know it. A beautiful book.

Four people had raved about this book to me so I thought, there's no way it will live up to the hype. It exceeded the hype. This is one of those books that will keep you up late at night, thinking 'just one more chapter...' It's the story of A, who wakes up every day in a different body. A is neither male nor female, is 16 and is never the same person twice. A has learned to deal with existing this way, wanting nothing, until one day wakes up as Justin and meets his girlfriend Rhiannon. A falls in love, and wants to be with her every day. I loved everything about this book. The concept alone is brilliant - we are introduced to so many different characters through A, so many different families and ways of life. The beginning of each chapter means a new body, a new set of circumstances, and not one of them is anything close to predictable. The love story is perfect. There's not one boring or even slightly rubbish character - Rhiannon is wonderful and A is an incredible creation. I was completely lost in the story, with each new turn wondering what would happen next, the whole way through having no idea how it could possibly end. Alright, that's enough raving I think..... I'll just finish by saying I loved this book, I already want to read it again and I will be recommending it to everyone.

I absolutely loved this book. I brought it expecting it to be a chore to get through but I ended up being encaptivated by the story line and loving the characters David Levithan had to cleverly thought up. I've never read a book like Every Day. The view at which it's been written from is amazing and captures the essense of the book so well. We learn so much about 'A' right from the beginning, going on an amazing journey with him. It's up there with my favourite books and I love the way it's left at the end. Absolutely beautiful story line I don't think I could be any other words to describe it. I recommend this to anyone that has the capability to think outside of their comfort zone. It really is the book to read.
