Another intricate read and profoundly moving work of Levithan. I love this book because it's a new take on daily living. It's fresh and a definite page-turner just because every page is about the same person except in a different life.
Just how do you live when you wake up in a different body every day?
I am at loss for the words to describe this book. A story about what you can do, what you're willing to let go and what you would give up for someone you love; a story about complete selflessness; a story that makes you ask yourself if you still love the person you love if you didn't know what he would look like tomorrow.

Every Day by David Levithan is one of the best books I’ve read so far. He's an amazing author and it was very hard to put this book down. It's one of those books that when you finish, you can't believe it ended. It's like you want to know more. I absolutely loved the book and when I made some friends read it, they fell in love with it. In the book, "A" changes bodies and lives everyday. Going from girl to boy, town-to-town, family to family. I think David Levithan wrote the book to send the message that you'll always remember certain days and forget others, but tomorrow will always remain a mystery. You don't know whom you'll meet, what you'll say, how you'll feel, or what others say to you. Everybody has a different routine they stick to everyday and it's what makes us human. It's a great read, I'd recommend it to everybody.

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.
Everyday is the fourth David Levithan that I have read and once again, he has not failed to massively please me. I love his work, with a brilliant, witty and intelligent writing style (similar to that of John Green and the likes but still with distinct differences) and beautiful story lines. It would definitely be a toss up between Everyday and Boy Meets Boy for my favourite. This story is so unique and so heart crushing and just really very wonderful. You just to read it to understand I think as I don't know how much I can say with out inducing spoilers. I don't know why I haven't given it 100% or near enough but it wasn't quite there - you know one of those books that you put down and just think "wow wow wow wow". I guess Everyday was more of just a singular "wow". If you love John Green, Rainbow Rowell and A.S King then I would definitely recommend Everyday

Every day is a breathtaking book about identity and love.

I enjoy the fact that A doesn't identify as male or female. I thought that took the book to a whole new level as A didn't define themselves by their gender or appearance.

The love story was also appealing and wasn't too cheesy.

Over all I adored this novel and love David Levithan's writing style.

Levithan has such a unique style of writing, and it's visible with every word plastered on the page. All of his books are well written and this book was no different. I have nothing but the tip of my hat. Bravo

So the person changes every day into somebody else every day? Woa, I would like to know how this started and how this character deals with this weird fate. I wonder if he takes advantages of this gift or tries to get rid of it to be a normal person.

This was a book that really made you think what if. The concept of waking up in a different body every day is intriguing. Not having a specific gender. Not having an appearance of your own. Not having your own life. Everything about this book was compelling. I highly recommend reading it. It was very interesting and engaging.

This book left me questioning everything. It would definitely teach a person understanding when you wake up in different races, genders, and in different locations. Well, then again, how can you show that understanding when you never get to know a person more than a single day?

I read Every Day about a year ago and absolutely loved it. It was a step away from normal contemporary romance. And although I would have liked to know how the main character was forced to wake up in a different body every day, I understand that the focus was on the couple and defying the odds. Every Day gave me a very fresh view on the relationships I have with the people around me. How terrible it would be to go without them!

This is the first time I've rated a book this high for the simple reason that I've just fallen in love with the entire book and not just because I've loved A, but because for me, it was just beautifully written . This is not a hardcore Nicholas Sparks love story or some deep and brooding Paulo Coelho life lesson. It's just a simple sad story about some soul wanting to belong and exist in this world and have an ordinary life he could call his own. It speaks about longing for something you'll never have and appreciating the simple privileges of living and existing. It's that type of book you don't wanna rush, not because the story is dragging or anything, but because you want it to last longer.

Read the Lover's Dictionary months ago and loved it, but now that I've read Every Day, I am definitely an official David Levithan fan. I'm even going to buy this book in paperback! That's how much I've loved it.

These are some of my favorite lines from the book:

"I will never have a photograph of her to carry in my pocket. I will never have a letter in her handwriting, or a scrapbook of everything we've done. I will never share an apartment with her in the city. I will never know if we are listening to the same song at the same time. We will not grow old together. I will not be the person she calls when she's in trouble. She will not be the person I call when I have stories to tell. I will never be able to keep anything she's given to me.

I watch her as she falls asleep next to me. I watch her as she breathes. I watch her as the dreams take hold. This memory. I will only have this. I will always have this."

"When first love ends, most people eventually know there will be more to come. They are not through with love. Love is not through with them. It will never be the same as the first, but it will be better in different ways. I have no such consolation. This is why I cling so hard. This is why this is hard."

"If you stare at the center of the universe, there is a coldness there. A blankness. Ultimately the universe doesn't care about us. Time doesn't care about us. That's why we have to care for each other."

"I wanted love to conquer all. But love can't conquer anything. It can't do anything on its own. It relies on us to do the conquering on its behalf."

"...And just like that,the universe goes wrong. Just like the enormity seems to shrink into a ball and float away from my reach. I feel it and she doesn't. Or I feel it and she won't."

"I turn back. I keep turning back to see her. Even when there are walls between us. Even when there are miles between us. I keep turning back. I keep turning in her direction."

"...But how can I make her look past the blur, if I'm a body she'll never really see, in a life she'll never really be able to hold?"

So yeah, definitely a must read. But once you do give this a time of your day, prepare to cry buckets!
