Every Day by David Levithan

Every Day by David Levithan is nothing short of a unique love story. Authors and producers are constantly trying to think of new obstacles to put in the path of love, but Levithan has created one that is truly different. A, the protagonist in the story, wakes up in a different body every single day. Sometimes he wakes up as a female, and sometimes as a male. A has gotten used to it, and tries to lay low while inhabiting others so as not to cause a great disturbance in their life. He has three main rules: don't interfere, don't get noticed, and try not to get attached to anyone. For the most part, his routine has remained relatively uninterrupted.

However, one day he wakes up in the body of a teenage boy named Justin. Justin has a girlfriend named Rhiannon, who A quickly falls in love with after spending the day with her. How can you be with someone when you wake up in a different body every single day? I suppose you'll have to read it to find out. But really. It's a fantastic book.

I know that I've talked about David Levithan before, but that's simply because I think he is a phenomenal writer. He is incredibly versatile and none of his books are remotely similar. He has a way of capturing human emotion in a way that few people can, and it makes for a very beautiful read. He is also prepared to tackle topics and ideas that most authors are too scared to touch, and I think that perhaps that is one of the main factors that draw me back to his novels, time and time again.This book in particular was interesting because the main character did not really associate themselves with a certain gender, and therefore I think that guys and girls alike would enjoy it. This unbiased, open-minded perspective really added a lot of depth to the book.

“I want love to conquer all. But love can't conquer anything. It can't do anything on it's own.
It relies on us to do the conquering on its behalf.” - David Levithan, Every Day
