Dive into summer with a great read, and Every Day, by David Levithan is the perfect book. A simple and super cute read, it depicts a lifelong adventure that A faces, an adventure of waking up in a different body and living the life of someone else for a day. But for A, who endured this lifestyle for all 16 years of his life, this is what he defines as “normal.”

This cycle of ordinariness is broken when, surprise surprise, he wakes up in a body of a boy with a pretty girlfriend (personality wise, but that’s what they all say). Unlike my expectations, their first encounter is actually cute, an escape from school and to the beach with just the two of them.

But here comes the cheesy lines of “I’ve never met a girl like you” that lead to one obvious conclusion, he has fallen in love with her, and worst, at first sight. Puke. I agree with the female lead, it is too soon for love.

The book continues with A waking up in various bodies and doing his usual role play, except the female lead, Rhiannon (this is the most obscure name I have ever found in a book, especially in a book drowning with ordinary names), keeps invading his mind. Another cliche that makes me want to bash my head against a wall, check. And cue some personal psychological problem that plagues the harmony of the character’s life. These are always exaggerated for the sake of making characters’ lives more interesting and complex, and A is a prime example.

But besides that, the simplicity lies within the details. Each and every life that A occupies has their own story to tell, and A, as well as the reader, gets to experience life through different eyes, all in a – sometimes overwhelming – row, like a crazy life lesson rollercoaster.

This book is a quick, adorable read for all you romance lovers out there. The romance aspect has been diluted a bit to make room for the unique concept, the idea of experiencing each day in a different life. I applaud the author for this, because not only is the idea itself really attractive, but the execution of it was commendable.

If you want to kill time, do it with Every Day by David Levithan.
