Every Day: The Graphic Novel by David Levithan, Dion MBD
3.0
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.
