Every Day by David Levithan

Title: Every Day
Author: David Levithan
Series: Every Day Book One
Synopsis: "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." -Goodreads.

Review: This book is amazing, first of all. I needed to get that out of the way right away. I can't even begin to explain all of the intricacies of this book or the amount of thought that David Levithan must have put into it. Even though A wakes up in the body of only sixteen year olds in the state of Maryland, none of the stories become repetitive. Every body is unique, every experience is unique. 

This book also manages to tackle some pretty big topics, some surrounding love, but not all of them. It handles LGBTQIA issues with David Levithan's usual ease, while also having chapters that deal with drug addiction and depression, as well as many different types of families in general. All of them were presented in ways which showed respect and understanding for the people who are dealing with the problems that they may be dealing with on a regular basis.

Seeing as I can't really go much further into a discussion without spoilers, and I really don't want to spoil anybody on this glorious book, I shall have to end my review here. Just know that I absolutely loved this book, and the only problems I really had with it were the last two chapters, and the relative insta-love quality that it has, at least on one side. The saving grace for the love story was the fact that the love wasn't reciprocated off of the bat, and in fact all of the issues surrounding the love story were addressed as the story went on. 

But seriously, this book is amazing. GO READ IT.
