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.
It took me three tries to get into Every Day. The third attempt was the most successful; I was finally able read Every Day beginning to end. Not that I didn’t find the story interesting, but the beginning wasn’t really that appealing and I couldn’t get hooked; I had absolutely no faith that A would see Rhiannon again.
Every Day, as I had already mentioned, had a slow start. It took about a hundred pages before I finally got hooked. I mean, if you were constantly moving from body to body every day, chances are, even if you see or meet the same person again, your relationship won’t be the same. Logically, this just didn’t work out for me, but it was still intriguing.
What I love about this story is that there are so many plot lines intertwined into one, but it was still easy to understand. First there’s A and Rhiannon’s relationship, but on top of that, A still has to worry about the life of the body he/she was inhabiting that day and various other problems. However, I did have a problem with it being in first person, A’s POV. Sure, A was definitely going through and experiencing a lot every day, which was interesting, but the way the story was told in that perspective just got a little monotone and boring overtime.
