SUMMARY

Every day I am someone else. I am myself - I know I am myself - but I am also someone else. It has always been like this. Each morning, A wakes up in a different body. There's never any warning about who it will be, but A is used to that. Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere. And that's fine - until A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone he wants to be with - every day...

REVIEW

I personally enjoyed this book and thought that the idea was original because I haven’t read a book similar to this. The only book I’ve read by this other is Will Grayson, Will Grayson which is co-authored by John Green- an author I really enjoy reading the books of.

THIS WILL HAVE SOME SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!

This book is about a being who has named themselves A who borrows other peoples’ bodies for a day. This being goes to sleep and wakes up in a different body and this happens every day. A has no gender and no own physical body.

SUMMARY

One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, Will Grayson crosses paths with...Will Grayson. Two guys with the same name, running in two very different circles, suddenly find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, and culminating in epic turns-of-heart and the most fabulous musical ever to grace the high-school stage. Told in alternating voices from two award-winning authors.

REVIEW

I completely and utterly loved this book, and then joy of joys, I read that David Levithan is going to be doing a Tiny Cooper spin off! How fabulous!

I really enjoyed the split narration, each Will Grayson had their own idiosyncrasies and when they met I was excited to see what would happen. The book deals with some serious issues of friendship, sexuality and relationships so it was very relatable and felt honest. It's quite "american" with the whole musical aspect - I can't imagine it having happened in my school, but then again that was about 15 yrs ago (Chris I feel old...)

Regardless, I loved it and will now be reading David Levithan's other books.

- Gem.
