Good imagery in this novel, however, I did not enjoy the ending! I disliked how there were so many questions left without an answer...I guess in a way that's how life is!

This book has a very interesting start, amazing potential and hooks you right in! But as I kept reading, the action remained the same, nothing too exciting really happens. I feel the potential is wasted on a romantic plot other than exploring a much more exciting story.

I enjoyed the take on living life as a different person, A's perspective and observations on each new person and their lives and personalities is refreshing.
But I also feel there was too much of a cycle to the book, you start to see a pattern and to me that's not exiting.

What made this mediocre for me is the fact that once you get to the end of the book, you realize its part of trilogy. Which made me think that much of the story is withheld in order to maximize...erm...profit potential for a book set. I dont think this story is worth 3 books, I feel it would have a better impact as a novel, but with only 1/3 of a story, what do I know?

What I do know, is that I'll definitely think twice about buying the 2nd book whenever it comes out.

This was really cute and an easy read. It started out..... weird, I guess is the word. I thought I wasn’t going to like it that much but it was a really fun read. It’s plot was very interesting though. I would have never even thought of this idea that something could just jump one body to the next. Good read for vacation.

Although the premise is fascinating, (the main character wakes up in a new body each day), the agenda is very apparent. "A", the main character is in to body of someone who is LGBT, suicidal, obese, often an outcast but hijacks these lives because he must get back to see Rhiannon. A note to Mr. Levithan, stalking is not romantic, nor is it "love". Rhiannon should not be painted as unable to cope because she does not want to have "A" show up unannounced.

I think this book really deserves five stars, I loved it and I don't have anything that could've been made better, but I guess it's not my favorite genre..
It was so beautiful, I felt as if I was absorbing the book. And I was so shocked when it ended, because there were like twenty more pages left, but those were short stories. So I wasn't prepared at all!!

interesting science fiction concept with a pretty bland execution.

This was great I wanted to hear every different individual. I do think there were problems especially with Rhiannon and her views on LGBT. (I don’t know how someone so young could be so clueless about certain things. She literally misgenders someone even though it’s not really explained to her but like she’s 17 or 16 whatever. Maybe things were different when this book was written)
