A review by strawb3rr1
Someday by David Levithan

2.0

For how much Rhiannon and A constantly go on about the ethics of A’s condition, and for how much Rhiannon guilt trips A about being too friendly with X in the end especially, it’s strange that no one seems to have a problem with her entire relationship with Alexander being founded on false memories created when he was body snatched by A. How is that not a violation?? If A is going to wring their hands every time they make a host body miss debate practice or whatever, how is choosing a body to be your girlfriend’s replacement boyfriend not way worse??? And in the end, it’s revealed that Rhiannon told Alexander about A and they both regularly go on trips to visit A in Washington. Did her telling him the truth about A include telling him what A did in his body when they first met? Wild.

Anyway, this novel moves away from the things that interested me about the original concept, and is essentially just a lot of A and Rhiannon being dramatic when almost all of their relationship problems could be solved by just a) telling her friends the truth about A (literally what consequences could this have?) and b) graduating high school and thus having independence and freedom.
