A review by dunder_mifflin
Every Day by David Levithan
3.0
there are spoilers scattered throughout so be warned //
it was... okay. the concept was great, i love the idea of someone waking up in a different body every day. but the way it was executed... not so much.
a apparently falls in love with rhiannon in the space of one day. they fall in love with her so much that they decide to ruin other people's lives just to hang out with her, and then belittle her for loving her boyfriend, asking why they can't be together, etc etc and i really don't see how rhiannon managed to fall for them too after the things they say etc etc.
also the fat shaming was... wow. rhiannon seemed totally cool to do this whole weird relationship thing until suddenly a is in the body of a fat person and she's just like ew no we can't do this because sometimes (like now) you're really unattractive to me lol like shut up rhiannon.
also back to how a ruins lives: he makes decisions that really mess things up for people just to see rhiannon, see: george. see: nathan. etc etc.
and i wish david levithan had told us more about poole, more about what a could do in order to stay in bodies, just because after the whole book it would have been nice to see what he could do to change the daily switching, even if he wasn't going to go for it after all. idk.
overall it was okay though so yeah
