A review by alyce6d980
Drew by Allison Glock, T. Cooper
3.0
The Changer life is a unique life: every year, on the first day of the new high school year, the Changer wakes up in their next 'V' - a form that they live in for the next 365 days. On the first day of their first V, the Changer gets an implant inserted into the back of their neck, and using that implant they Chronicle, mentally writing diary entries about each day of their life. At the end of the four years, after inhabiting four different bodies, the Changer chooses their Mono - the singular form that they will occupy for the rest of their lives.
Of course, Ethan doesn't know this, so when he wakes up on his first day of high school as a super attractive blonde girl called Drew, he's understandably freaked. His - sorry, her - parents are excited, her Static (human, non-Changer) mother is over the moon to finally have a daughter, and her Changer father is happy to finally be able to share his true nature with his child. But Ethan/Drew is annoyed to have had such a huge secret kept from her, and it takes a long time for her to come to terms with the news about her life.
'Drew' is split into three seasons: Fall, Winter and Spring, with the chapters being told through the Chronicling diaries (for example: Change 1 - Day 265). At the start the days are near consecutive, showing how much is happening in Drew's life that she's still attempting to come to terms with, but as time goes on the Chronicles become fewer and farther in between as less of note occurs on a daily basis.
I have to congratulate the authors for creating such a strong voiced character. Within the first few pages you know exactly who Ethan is, and when he changes into Drew his response definitely makes him a stand out character.
