Week 5: Every Day #1

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

Review:

“Every day a different body.

Every day a different life.

Every day in love with the same girl.”

This is one of my favourite books. I just really really love the way how David Levithan wrote this tangling imagination and put it in words. Every sentence convey deep thoughts on how A (the name of the character) narrate his or her life.

At the first part of the story, you’ll ever wonder how this story flows. He or she has to figure out who he/she is for that specific day. “Every day I am someone else. I am myself- I know I am myself- but I am also someone else. It has always been like this.” It is one of the quotes or line said by A and mainly his/her life beholds of being like this. In a way it’s kind of a gloomy life, thinking you don’t have exact body or exact life. But the thing is, for me, this is his/her life. A must be naturally born for this existence which you have to deal and be themselves (the body of other people) and prove that it’s just the same way.

But in the long run, he/she did not expect to be fall in love with this girl named Rhiannon. A really suspects or haunt Rhiannon’s track every single day with different bodies. Before I think A was really a man because he/she fall in love with Rhiannon but suddenly I realized the gender equality of our society; well it just give us an idea that we should really got trail in the second part of this book to know if he or she is a man or a woman.

I hope you’re getting my point in telling this sequence because sometimes I just really can’t explain my thoughts well. (Getting back to the story) There are times wherein A change the way on how the next body will do. He or she will just follow Rhiannon’s life; pretend to be someone else to meet her again and other several manners to keep her in different way.
