Ich finde A. persönlich schon kinda selfish und hab manche Sachen auch so null gecheckt, ab irgendnem Punkt war dieses ganze " Oh ich liebe dich aber wir können nicht Zusammensein" einfach nur noch langweilig und anstrengend, es war immer gleich nur halt in nem anderen körper & ich fand's tbh auch kritisch wie trans Menschen da gestellt wurden, so muss nicht ne muss echt nicht sein I mean das Buch ist zwar aus 2012 & da war man auf dem Thema noch nicht so 'bewandert' aber die letzte Neuauflage war 2019 so I mean wenigstens n disclaimer einbauen - also das Buch (wie es auf tik Tok & insta öfter beworben wurde) ist null queer, nur weil der körper das gleiche Geschlecht wie Rihanna an einem Tag hat kann man es nicht einfach queer nennen, so ne Bruder aducate your self :/


Und dieses Stalker verhalten sollte man echt nicht romantisieren, genauso wenig wie man Depressionen oder ne abhängigkeit so darstellen sollte wie es gemacht wurde, ich find's generell eher kritisch ngl

not my favorite by the author. a very quick read but the love story was more stalky than not and the premise, although interesting, set up a hard to resolve situation that tied up both quickly and a bit confusingly. I preferred boy meets boy, the lover's dictionary or nick and norah.

I loved this book. I’ve read a lot of bad things about it, but I love it. It’s so beautifully written, the storyline is so good and it was just all in all amazing. It’s about a really special and extraordinary first love between two 16 year olds, and as a teenage girl myself, reading this at 4 a.m. in my living room made me ball my eyes out. In the words of Lindsey Rey; “WOW”.

I went into this book expecting to hate it, but I was surprisingly moved by the story.

If you don’t get too caught up in the parameters of A’s condition (spoiler alert: you don’t get a ton of answers), I think you will find this to be a very lovely story. Every Day is told in snapshots, giving the reader a brief insight into the many different kinds of lives that exist within a small distance of each other. Most of the lives that A wakes up in are average, but some are exceptionally happy and others exceptionally sad. I felt that this was the real point of the book—for the reader to experience and struggle, like A, with all of the complexities of life. To experience them without judgement. This book is a practice in empathy.

The storyline with Rhiannon I could give or take. I know that’s like the major story line of the book and that there had to be a love story because it’s YA, but I would have been satisfied if it had just been about A’s journey from day to day. There’s a lot of moral ambiguity to unpack here and I would have happily read an entire book about A trying to grapple with that. However, as far as female protagonists go, I felt that she was well-rounded and flawed, so cheers to Leviathan for that.

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is well practiced in the suspension of disbelief and is intrigued by the intricacies of humanity.

"I watch her as she falls asleep next to me. I watch her as she breathes. I watch her as the dreams take hold. This memory. I will only have this. I will always have this."

I have so many things to say about this book, which surprises me, because as I was reading it, I didn't know how to feel about it. Going into it, I didn't really know if I was going to like it. I've enjoyed David Levithan's writing in the past, but this one seemed so different from his other books that I've read. And it really is different.

This book is about A, who wakes up in a different body every day. At the beginning of the book, A is in Justin's body. Usually A doesn't interfere with the people's lives that they inhabit, but this time it's different - because this time they fall in love with Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon.

A and Rhiannon's romance is the main storyline in this book, so obviously it plays a huge part. Thing is, I really, really didn't like Rhiannon, and I definitely wasn't a fan of their relationship, but despite that, I actually really enjoyed this book.

This book is filled with so many wonderful stories about different people and their lives. I loved reading about all the different people A woke up as, learning about their past and learning what is an ordinary day for them. I was able to sort of tune out the whole Rhiannon thing and just focus on all these different people, which made this a very enjoyable read.
