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. But can Rhiannon love someone who is destined to change every day?

"Wise, wildly unique." (Entertainment Weekly)

"A story that is always alluring, oftentimes humorous and much like love itself--splendorous." (Los Angeles Times)

Cute YA story, but could have been better

Very hard to put down. A very nice story of teen love with a bit of sci-fi body swapping, however you start to feel that there's too much mini stories about the lives of the people the protagonist inhabits and less of progressing his own understanding of his condition or preparing for his own future. It may be understandable since he is still a teen, but it leaves too many things unresolved.

Every Day Review

I wished it had gone on forever. it was an enthralling story. It gave a wonder different perspective, undoubtedly a liberal one. I felt the emotions of the characters and traveled to different worlds that could be virtually down the street from my own.

Frustrating

Is there anything you would change about this book?

When the writing was plot-driven, it moved along in an engaging way. When it was social agenda-driven, it dulled to a preachy slog. Very important plot questions were left unanswered. Issues presented to the reader as both dangerous and important were left unresolved.

What about Alex McKenna’s performance did you like?

She expressed legitimate emotions and provided distinct voices for the various characters.

Was Every Day worth the listening time?

Perhaps for some. As social propaganda, it's well written. As a story, it leaves too much unresolved. Was this book just a lead-in to a series?

Love the narrator!

This is a great book! I love the story and the author... It's like the narrator was made for this book! PLEASE READ! :)

Superb!

Anyone can write a romance. Anyone can write a philosophical treatise. There are those who have written each. In this series, Levihan accomplishes both at the same time--and he does so with superb skill.

Haunting, insightful, beautifully read and amazing

A teen love/ life story like no other. Rich in life insights but leaves a little wanting at the end as if the genius plot device was a trap. Hopefully the 2018 forthcoming sequel Someday will rescue that small flaw 8n this brilliant story.

Good story

The story was good, but I was not impressed with the ending. It kind of just leaves you hanging.

Mean book

I wanted to listen to this book because it sounded like a good story. I enjoyed listening to it, however I am shocked how awful it spoke of overweight people. The author showed his ignorance and lack of talent by speaking as if a mean 7 year old was speaking of an over weight person. I would not recommend anyone struggling with body image problems read this book.

Interesting concept

The narrator was a perfect choice for this novel.
Enjoyed the listen, found it engaging, but the ending seemed sudden and I didn't really feel a conclusion to the overall plot was really presented. It also other felt like they had reached their word limit and pared down the end to fit.
