Reviews with content warning for Addiction - Every Day

I appreciate a book that focuses in one main concept and explores it in many different ways; what would waking up as a new person every day really mean? I feel like it could have gone even more in depth but I feel like the author struck a balance and didnt overstay their welcome. The concept as it was presented left me with more questions I could happily explore on my own. The love story and central plot felt secondary to my own enjoyment of it, but others might get more out if that aspect too. A book I could recommend most casual readers.

Wasn't a huge fan of Rhiannon, so it made me really frustrated when

A kept wrecking people's lives/relationships for her.

Overall though, I loved the concept of the body switching and wish it would be explored further!

Not all books need to have a thick plot, but to say this book has none would be an understatement. Unlikeable characters can be a good thing, but I just couldn't really find much that I liked about this book. It could be worse I guess? Just wasn't for me.

One of my favorite books. In spite of the many different content warnings, it's one of my favorites to give to teenagers because it's the best recipe I know for empathy.

I turn to the excellent audiobook to get me through hard days.

Today I re-read it on the long road trip to my grandfather's funeral, and had completely forgotten about the scene where A witnesses the funeral of a beloved grandfather. It happened when I was twenty miles away from the church, and the writing was so powerful and the different layers of grief resonated so intensely with me that I started sobbing. (Luckily my partner was driving.)

I just... I keep coming back to this book because it keeps meaning more and new and different things to me at different times in my life. I know it's a young adult book, but I'm 37, and was born with a disability. As a kid I would have given anything to have A's blessing/curse. The story of A's life reminds me of the many different facets of human existence, and helps me feel less alone.
