As someone who read this entire book in one sitting when it first came out, I was intrigued by this graphic novel adaptation. I'm not really sure the story itself translates well into a graphic novel format, as there's a lot of internal monologues that happen in the prose version of this story. Something about Levithan's prose is also a little lost in this adaptation.
There are some nice panels, but the art style wasn't particiularly my favorite. I wanted a little more detail in some of the people, I think. The colors were really nice, though! Especially in the scenes that were given a full page.
All in all, some mixed feelings about this adaptation. I'm not sure how they're picking YA novels to adapt, but they are definitely picking some interesting ones.

Beautiful story, heart wrenching and beautiful ending. I adored this love story and was sucked in the entire time.

I read the original book years ago and this graphic novel adaptation is incredibly well done and I actually think I prefer it to what I remember of the original book (tho I haven’t read that in years so who knows)
It makes me want to go back and read the sequels to the original Every Day to see what develops for A

This story is very well suited to a graphic novel! I thought the concept was a bit clearer with the graphics, but obviously some of Levithan’s writing was lost in this format. It ends kind of abruptly, so I’m curious if there’s a sequel. If not, I think it made sense as an ending, story-wise, but it just came up much quicker than I expected.

It was cute but sometimes A's actions were a bit iffy for me. I didn't really like how abrupt the ending was either. I did really like the art style though

I liked it, but it felt a little.. rushed? Worth a read though
