This is a book. Though I normally don't blog about books (even though I read a good bit), I will make the exception for this treasure.
Here, in Every Day, the world is mostly realistic with one interesting twist. A knows no permanent life. This person doesn't even know if s/he is a male or female. The reason for this is that every morning A wakes up in a different body, it could be male or female, fat or skinny, or even a Beyonce look alike.
But then one day, everything changes. Justin (the person who A is for the day) has a girlfriend named Rhiannon and A falls hopelessly in love. This is an unforeseen complication.
From that day forward, A needs to see Rhiannon, breaking many rules of the lives that s/he is currently living as to do so. A starts to get sloppy, something which has not happened before. And then s/he opts to tell Rhiannon the truth and she believes him/her.
The book is impossible to put down. The style flows smoothly, with realistic characters and dialogue. Some characters are sadder than others. One girl whom A inhabits is close to committing suicide, perhaps A can save her life. And then, there is also the possibility that A is not alone, that other people can jump from body to body.
This is a real page turner and to give anymore away would be a crime. The insight is real, brilliant points are made, such as can A be true to him/herself or should this person just live the life that s/he must for that day and deal with the hand dealt. Is it worth getting attached to someone that can never fully be with you? This book is wonderful and deserves to read by anyone. Grade: A
