When one of my teammates botches a shot, the coach tells him to stop being a girl. I wish I could tell him that I was a girl two days ago, and two days before that. Nothing is different. A shot is a shot.
I love this novella prequel to Every Day. It's so interesting to read about A's thoughts about switching bodies and how they try to make it through the day in someone else's body. Especially when all these feelings are involved. A doesn't want to get too involved, not knowing how much the person will remember the next day.
I love the concept and it kind of makes you stop and think and watch others as A does.

I actually read this AFTER every day..but i doesn't matter..i didn't expect any exlpanation about why A is A like most people do because the story itself isn't about A's nature..not technically but it was more about his perspective on life, society and love. This book shows a lot of humanity between its pages, i had the chance to discover more people and to see people, to know them for better saying, with a whole diffrent way! and that's the point!
it was so easy to connect with the characters, the writing is smooth and i flew on it. over all it was great!

Interesting to see more of A's days, just wish they weren't so romance centric.

This novella provides readers, and fans of Levithan's Every Day, the opportunity to see A before the first novel ever begins. We seem him struggle as a child to access the information of the body he inhabits. We see him scramble to figure out what to do when someone professes their love to not him, but the skin that he wears. We watch him jump ages and days and forget the others he once was. While an interesting insight, Six Earlier Days leaves readers wanting more, and while this has its own positive qualities, the novella was one that could have been a novel, in order to satisfy the reader's desire to relate and connect with A on a deeper level. But maybe A just isn't ready for that.

After dropping Every Day (I got sick and tired of the OMG OMG Rhiannon stuff), I decided to try this one since this one is about his previous lives, and thank God, not about his stalker tendencies in regards with OMG Rhiannon.
This short novella was quite nice, though again, I started to get annoyed with A and how he does things.
It was interesting to finally see other ages than the constant 16. So that was what I liked and also the fact we had other romances than the standard Guy > Girl or Girl > Guy.

A very short novella about exactly what it promises- six earlier days from A's past before we entered on day five thousand nine hundred something. Days in which nothing happens, or something could happen. I'd read about any of A's days.

It was nice to know about A before everything started in Every Day, it left me hanging though.
