The novel Everyday was written by David Leviathan on Aug. 28, 2012 and is now being adapted into a movie. 

“A”, the narrator of the story, wakes up to a new reality everyday. They have no distinct gender, but they know three things: the person is always the same age, never too far from the last, and never the same person twice.

When “A” first wakes up, they need to figure out who they are. How long their hair is, their skin color, their weight, everything. “A” has to follow simple rules- don’t get noticed, try and live that day for that person, and don’t interfere too much into that person’s life.

Everyday starts on day 5,994. “A” has woken up as 5,994 different people, and this person happens to be Justin, a 16-year-old boy. That day, however, when “A” goes to school, it drastically changes everything, they “meet” Rhiannon, Justin’s girlfriend.

“A” knows that they can’t interfere with his life. But when “A” takes a liking to Rhiannon, they have to throw out the only rules they’ve ever known. However, “A” makes the decision to try to get to know her, even if they are someone new everyday.

I really liked this book a lot. The movie came out on February 23, and I wanted to read the book before I saw the movie. One thing I didn’t like about the book is that it is never explained to why “A”’s life is like this. There’s no explanation, the readers are supposed to just go with it and know this is how it is. Even “A” them-self doesn’t know why, it just is. Rhiannon never really gets an explanation and “A” never knows either. It is just something that bugged me, which is why I gave it a 4.5/5 stars rather than 5/5 stars.
