​You'll Never Be Quite the Same

"every day" by David Levithan

Picture
            In David Levithan’s YA novel, the protagonist is a “soul” who wakes up in a new, but same-aged body every morning – the only life “A.” has ever known. At the age of 16, A. falls in love, gets reckless, and tries to transcend the “rules” of existence.
            Intriguing thoughts:
            *A. has no consistent gender, race, or size. Some called A. “he,” some “she,” and some “they.” It was a tantalizing illustration of gender fluidity.
            *About A’s constant body-switching, many said “how heartbreaking to never stay.” Someone said, “for some, it’s heartbreaking to never leave.”
            *It occurred to me this morning, as I dragged myself, exhausted, around the dog loop, that I kind of wake up in a different body from day to day.
            *Don’t we all wish at some point that someone we love could live in our body for a day, to see how it feels?
            Great book group choice!
