I couldn't put it down, A's perspective on every person he inhibited was just so awesome and really gives you a moment to put yourself in others shoes. I absolutely love this book. ( )

The premise of "Every Day" is absolutely horrifying to me, so I knew I probably didn't want to read it, despite two strong draws (sci fi with LGBT characters??). People mentioned a trans character in addition to the genderless A, and curiosity finally got the better of me, so I sat down at the library and skimmed the entire book to find them.

a) Not worth it---of course the trans character is a straight teenage trans guy, which is the kind of trans character that cis authors seem to find the least intimidating to write. A says some dumb shit about how noble he is, and we never hear his own voice anyway.

b) The book is just as creepy---and yet somehow boring---as I thought it would be. ( )

This book made the mom in me so sad, where are this person's parents? what happened to that baby? I found this an interesting and entertaining exploration of a moral compass and how we see and judge the people around us. ( )

Actual rating 4.5 stars.

This book consumed me. I read in one sitting, totally engrossed in the condition of the human soul and its ability to love.

The spirit of A goes beyond gender and sexual identity and into a space of simply ‘being.’ It was such an amazing perspective on existence. Juxatpose that with the love interest, Rhiannon’s perception and interactions with A and her gradual understanding and acceptance of A, and their humanity, and you end up with a universal attitude of love and acceptance of everyone. It was truly inspired.

On the other hand, being A was weird. Always the interloper, unsure of your very existence. It’s a hard place to be. Alone and transient. Enough to send you completely bonkers. But A finds a way to balance it all. A's own desires and wishes without impacting the lives of the bodies that are being borrowed for the day.

I loved toe tone of zero prejudice about the physical being and of identity. I loved getting to walk, if somewhat briefly, in so many other people’s lives and feel that impact.

While we only get the tiniest hint of the mythology behind A and his existence, the rest of the novel feels like a social commentary on identity and how we treat each other. How we are all different, yet the same. I wanted to get involved more into the reasons why A was the way he was – a wandering soul. I was hoping that in the sequel ‘Another Day’ I’d get more answers, but alas, only another brief touch on the mythology. I have my fingers crossed that we can really sink out teeth into the paranormal or science fiction of it all in the third book of the series ‘Someday’ due out on the 2nd of October this year. Not long to wait now!

There’s not much to say about this novel. It’s a romance, a character study with a heavy dose of philosophy. I loved it. The concept so fresh in YA!

It’s a beautiful quick read that I highly recommend. ( )

6/10, this was a book that I hoped that I would enjoy. I did not enjoy this one despite its rather interesting premise and concept but its execution didn't live up to its full potential. The story is about A who lives in a new body every day but the reason why is unexplained and I've seen this problem in realistic books like They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera but I won't spoil that for you so you can go read the book yourself to see the problem. A meets a girl called Rhiannon and he falls in love with her eventually but his circumstances forced him to break up with her which I didn't like and the main characters weren't that fleshed out and the special characteristic that A had quickly got boring however it was mildly interesting to see A in different bodies at times such as he was in a suicidal person's body and stopped them from killing themselves, he was in an overweight body and he made him exercise and he even was in Rhianna's body once but that wasn't enough to make the book more enjoyable to read. Apparently there are two more books in the series but I won't bother to pick them up to read them and there's also the antagonist whose name I forgot but he was in the background around 90% of the time. If you like an interesting romance this one is for you but there are better ones out there. ( )
