A review by stvnh
Every Day, by David Levithan
adventurous
fast-paced
+ the writing is very good, lots of beautiful sentences to be found
+ the different lives and observations on relationship dynamics are executed well
+ Queer (mostly gay) Rep
+ captivating portrayal of depression
- love (or more so, obsession) at first sight, and the romance bits can get repetitive as the question of "should we, should we not" is brought up often
- the chapter with a trans character is bad, extremely cis/outdated language
- excruciating, horribly detailed, dehumanizing fatphobia in another chapter...
- no person the protagonist inhabits is ever disabled?
