You have to read this book.
I enjoyed Will Grayson, Will Grayson but oh sweet love of all that is pure this book makes Will Grayson, Will Grayson like quotes from one of those "teen truth" twitter accounts.
A spends his life going from one body to another when one day he meets Rhiannon and goes out of his way to meet her every day in his different bodies.
And oh it's so good! A is instantly likeable because he constantly tries not to make his inhabitants lives worse. Rhiannon is idolised by A and the obsession over her is so beautifully perfect and well written that it can't be described in writing. Then there's a second sub-plot over the Church's attitude to "demons" and religious experience so it isn't all about the idolisation of this one girl which is so wonderful after YA and adult romance (Marion Keys, I'm looking at you and your kind).
Often teen (is it teen? It could be adult literature?) romantic fiction such as this narrated by a guy includes manic pixie-girl dreams *cough John Green cough* and Every Day was refreshingly pure of this. Rhiannon is so full of love and hope that it's nice to have such a lovely character.
This books main criticism is it is a bit preachy. By that I mean Levithan tried to get his views across over many topics in society. I didn't find that; I loved every second. I liked the way it tackled more than one problem in our culture and yet it was a brilliant love story.
I loved the romance of it all.
So yes, this is my favourite book I've read all year. Maybe even one of my top 20 books of all time.
So yeah, you have to read this book.
