SSR Quarter 1 Book Review: Every Day
For the first quarter, I chose to read Every Day by David Levithan. The genre of the book is fantasy and young adult romance, and it contains 324 pages.
The book revolves around the protagonist A, who is a person that wakes up in a different body everyday. It is always a person around their age and near their location, but it is never the same person twice. A makes sure not to disrupt the lives of their hosts by respecting the person and living the day as that person. However, that all changes when A meets Rhiannon, a normal teenage girl they had the opportunity to get to know when they woke up in the body of her boyfriend Justin. The rest of the book deals with the struggles that both A and Rhiannon have to endure in order to be together. The obvious hurdle that they have to go through is the fact that A is never the same person, so Rhiannon has to learn to love A's soul, not their body. Also, A has to come to terms with the fact that they broke their promise to not change the lives of the hosts.
One of my favorite things about the book is that after getting to know the characters, it kept you on the edge of your seat because after all the difficulties the characters have gone through, you want to see them to be happy. The writing may seem simplistic at times, especially because the chapters are titled by days (the days that A has been alive). However, I think that it benefits the book because you are able to understand what events occur each day, and you get to know what A is thinking. I believe that many people will be able to relate to the main character because A is simply trying to find out where they belong in the world and what their purpose is. Overall, I highly recommend this book.

I would definitely read this book because it seems really interesting and reminds me of the movie Split based on your description. The main character had twenty-three personalities that he would switch back and forth from but was not able to control who or when. As can be assumed, this caused many problems but gave the movie a thrilling plot.
ReplyDeleteWow, that movie sounds pretty interesting. Since I actually enjoyed this book, I think I will enjoy that movie as well.
