Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl.
There’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that, even established guidelines by which to live: Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere.
It’s all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone he wants to be with—day in, day out, day after day.

The best love story i've ever read...
David Levithan's Every Day was a book I was not expecting to love as much as I did. Hearing only good things about this book, I had to give it a try. I had never read any DL before this book, so I was pleasantly surprised at how great the book truly was.
First of all, the cover. Beautiful, isn't it? Don't tell me you can pass up a beautiful book like this... I sure couldn't...
Every Day instantly drew me in from page one. The concept for this book was so interesting, and I've never read anything like it.
Rhiannon I actually found to be a bit annoying, but at the same time, a likable character. I'm not too sure as to why A was drawn to her, but love is mysterious, is it not?
Although A had no gender, I definitely got the vibe that he was male. So although Levithan tried to keep it gender neutral here, I found myself trying to find a way to identify A.
The story was fast-paced and I could feel the tension and love throughout the whole book, and A's struggles and pain.
The ending was by far the best part. I found it to be just so beautiful, and it was the perfect way to end the book, although it was unexpected. Ah, absolutely amazing.
I enjoyed that the ending didn't turn out to be fairytale perfect, which actually ended up making it... more perfect.
