Goodreads summary:
Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl.
Every morning, A wakes in a different person’s body, a different person’s life. 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.
Review:
From everything I’ve heard about his books, I was expecting Big Things from Every Day by David Levithan and the author certainly didn’t disappoint.
Levithan’s prose is deceptively simplistic, but crafted in a way that even the simplest sentences have a poetry to them.
This book manages to teach us lessons without getting preachy. Things like the fact that love is love.Whether a person is thin, heavy, model gorgeous, average, male, or female. No matter which body A moves to every day, A loves Rhiannon. Love has no gender, race, or size.
