Goodreads Description:

"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.

With his new novel, David Levithan has pushed himself to new creative heights. He has written a captivating story that will fascinate readers as they begin to comprehend the complexities of life and love in A’s world, as A and Rhiannon seek to discover if you can truly love someone who is destined to change every day.

***

Every Day was nothing if not unique. A wakes up in a different body every day, but he is still in love with the same girl. David Levithan beautifully explored what it would like to live a life that was never truly your own.

I was actually bored by the first chapter, and almost didn’t finish reading. The second chapter, however, drew me in and I was just captivated by the story. A and Rhiannon’s love story was really well done--sweet, but a little heart-breaking.

While I enjoyed the romance, what really interested me in Every Day was how A became what he was and the mysteries surrounding the priest (I can’t delve into this without giving away spoilers).

Every Day is a love story at heart with a bit of mystery woven in. I was really intrigued by the mystery and wish that it was explored more. However, it felt more like a passing plot point at the end of the novel. This is an enjoyable romantic story that is perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks and similar authors.
