I loved the novel, but found that it didn’t translate into a graphic novel well. Too much internal monologue and thoughts that didn’t get shown in the graphic novel. It jumped into it that had I not read the novel I would be super confused reading the graphic novel. This one shouldn’t have been adapted IMO.

As someone who read the novel originally, I loved seeing the story from a visual perspective!

This is my second David Levithan book and I love that his books have really unique concepts & characters who are very diverse. This one follows 'A' who wakes up in a different body every single day. BUT this book fell a little flat for me. I think mostly just because it's really short and a graphic novel so it felt fairly surface level to me. I would be intrigued to read the full novel though as I think that format probably goes way more in depth.
My second complaint is the ending. I feel like the unique concept set this book up for a plot twist or really unique ending but it ended exactly how I expected it too.
I would still recommend this book though if you're looking for a unique, fun, heartfelt, & quick read. I read this book in under an hour so 100% worth the time spent reading it. I loved the art too!

This had a really interesting concept: a person exists as just a consciousness, jumping from body to body every 24 hours - basically quantum-leap.
But this is one of those stories that leaves you with a lot of questions and no answers because the focus is entirely on a relationship between this body-hopping entity named "A" and a girl. It works, but it's really not enough. It also teases answers to why this is happening and then gives you nothing. It's frustrating that this story is just about this girl, especially since she keeps running from the protagonist. The relationship doesn't really seem all that special, and the real story should be more focused on how lonely it is to be this entity, or even better: what the hell is going on. This story is incomplete and could have easily been a whole series. I personally would have liked a quantum leap situation where you see what A learns about life as they body-hop. This was kind of a waste of a good idea.

Book 95: Every Day: The Graphic Novel by David Levithan
GN review #17 for June
Synopsis: Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl.
Review: I don’t think I am a fan of Levithan’s work. I want to like his books, but they are not for me. This GN was a no. My rating 2.5⭐️.
