when i was a kid i had this crazy fantasy. being someone else. and this book brings me back to that fantasy
A has ability to wake up in different body. he then met rhiannon. the girl A falls in love with. then the journey begins.
for me this book is about loneliness. being teenager with all sort of problem and environment and that feeling nobody can understand u. it is amazing how the author takes me one character at a time and tell short story about each character.
i specially felt hard for george who lives with his over bearing mother. and i feel lucky and perfect when alexander shows up.

I really liked the concept of the book. It was super interesting and had me asking a lot of questions. It would honestly be a great book for a book club. But I could've done without the weird romance. It was obsessive and annoying and selfish.

This was really good! I loved how the main character really didn't have a gender they were just being who they are. One thing I did not like as much is at the end I wish I could've gotten more on how they figured out what they had to do in order to stay in one body, like the whole conversation was missing and I really would've liked to read that part too.

Great concept but executed horrible.
They falls in love with the first girl they talk to. Can inhibition teenagers but all in the same American area.
This book had so much potential and was easy to read but I keept waiting for the plot to start, for something to happen.

It was a good quick read. I like majority of the characters. I love that each chapter was a different day. The only thing I didn't like about it was the ending. I felt like there could have been a little bit more put into it. I'm still going to read the sequel.

Ich konnte nicht aufhören. Der Gedanke, der dahinter steckt - das Leben von anderen Menschen auch aus deren Sicht erleben zu können und die Perspektive zu wechseln - hat mich gepackt. Und gleichzeitig fand ich es sehr traurig, dass A eigentlich nur ein Bewusstsein ist, das kein eigenes Leben leben darf.
Regt definitiv zum Nachdenken an!

I really did enjoy this book quite a lot, but I did find some things I didn’t like. I didn’t like how ignorant Rhiannon was throughout the entire book, even after hosting A for a day. She kept calling them “he” and even referred to the transgender boy they were in as “she”. I suppose it was to create character depth but to me it just came off as ignorant and close-minded. And the other problem was the ending. I did not like the way the book ended, because it felt extremely rushed and very anti-climactic. Okay, cool, they have too much of a conscience to steal someone else’s life, so they run away. That’s it, seriously? Give me more. Over all though, a good read. It made me think a lot.
