I’d recommend it to teenagers, to adults, to anyone who asked me “have you read anything good lately?” And here I am, recommending it to you! If I was still a bookseller now, I would recommend David Levithan’s latest, Every Day, to those parents. Sure there were books about love and romance for teens, but they were easily digestible not particularly deep or thought-provoking. As a bookseller a couple of years ago, I found it quite difficult to recommend YA fiction to customers who were looking to steer their adolescent offspring away from the vampire/paranormal section. Boy meets girl or girl meets boy, there is an obstacle, there is usually a paranormal/supernatural twist, there is quite often a girl in a long flowing dress on the front cover with her head turned away, and they usually live happily ever after… after 2-3 sequels with more obstacles and more drama than some long-running TV soapies.
The boy releases a story to the media about a devil taking control of his body and a hunt begins for people that have felt the same thing.Sometimes it feels like YA romance fiction has been done to death. However, one day, A forgets to wipe a boy’s memory of the day that he was a host and the boy ends up tracking A down.
Rhiannon doesn’t believe him at first, but eventually begins to. After a few days, he decides to trust her with his secret, something he’s never done before. However, one day, he wakes up in the body of a boy named Justin, and after spending the day with Rhiannon, Justin’s girlfriend, A finds himself falling in love with her.Įvery day after that, A, in his host body, finds a way to meet Rhiannon. He then has to pretend to be that person for an entire day until midnight, where he becomes another person.Ī doesn’t mind this very much, except the bad days where he wakes up hungover or as a junkie. He has no body of his own, and every morning, he must access the memories of the body he is in to figure out what the person is like. He wakes up everyday in someone else’s body.
This was one of the books that my dad got me for my birthday!! I liked the concept of the book a lot, but once it got to the suspenseful part, I was a little reluctant to read further and finish the book because I knew that there weren’t enough pages left in the book for everything that needed to happen.Ī is a sixteen-year-old boy who has a secret.
