Over the second and third quarter I read The novel Everyday by David Levithan, and I really liked it very much. The story is about neither a boy or girl A lives inside a random person's body every single day.A never gets to have a family, friends or even its own bed .A moves through peoples lives without making any big changes so the person doesn't think anything was off the next day. Things change one day when A is in the body of Justin and A falls in love with Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon. Throughout the story A goes out of his way in other peoples bodies to find her and meet her all over again. Eventually he tells Rhiannon and they try to make their complicated relationship work. I really enjoyed this book because it comes from a perspective with no real gender,age,and appearance who has to live in the bodies of different races, sexes, and ages. A even though doesn't have a true identity is very honest and easy to relate to which builds characterization without having any background info.Later on in the novel it reveals the difficulties Rhiannon has with being with somebody who she'll never really know. This book is amazing and I recommend it but you have to come with an open mind and be prepared for a little bit of heartbreak.
I remember hearing about this novel a few years back. Perhaps I could borrow it and take a look at it for myself?
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs. Brown once told us in class about it. "A" sounds like a likable character, in fact I kind of think it'd be cool to have that ability as well. A heartbreak? Oh well, it's not like nobody goes through that.
ReplyDeleteThe concept for this book is very interesting and I'd definitely would want to read it
