Every Day
by David Levithan
“This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the world. It makes you want to choose the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot. The person you love sits across from you, and you want to do everything in your power to make it possible, endlessly possible. And when it’s just the two of you, alone in a room, you can pretend that this is how it is, this is how it will be.”
-David Levithan, Every Day
I read this book a few years ago, and it recently found its way back to me… and I’m so grateful it did. I was only a few chapters in, when I realized that the copy I was reading contained someone else’s handwritten notes… and even though the handwriting looked extremely familiar (cue minor heart attack)… I not so quickly deduced that it had to be that of a complete stranger based on the handwritten dedication on the inside cover: “For Hannah- Happy New Year! Enjoy every day… Love, Opa” Thanks, Hannah whoever you are, for your notes, thoughts, questions… it made this second time through even more meaningful (and at times heartbreaking) than the first. And thank you, Opa, for the reminder to enjoy every day. I needed that.
