I have no feelings about it at the moment. I’ve heard there’s a sequel coming this year called “Someday”.So I will maybe recommend if you are a die-hard David Levithan fan.No worries, Levithan’s beautiful writing is still there: “ Most of the time when we think we’re looking for death, we’re really looking for love.”.I want my untainted version of the story back. I just feel after reading it that I really don’t need Rhianon’s side of things.I see now that love can be pure on one side but can be complicated on the other. I recognize the effort to flesh out Rhianon and Justin.I just think that it’s toxic to romanticize things that are really hurtful to others. And that Justin is not a total jerk at all and he was hurt with what Rhianon did. But having read Rhianon’s point of view, I get to realize that she cheated on Justin with A. I kind of rooted for their love in Every Day. Second, it ruined the pure and lovable images of A and Rhianon for me.First, I was deeply disappointed with the “another day” part which is also the ending because it did so little to make this companion book needed.Fast forward to after the time I’m finished reading the said companion book and I’m like I wish I can blow away my excitement before because there is nothing much to get excited about.I just found out that there will be a companion book for David Levithan's Everyday! *squees* *tears up a little* I would highly recommend if you want to be wrapped in beautifully woven words.I’ll explain more later on my review for “Another Day” below. But more like because I re-read it with its companion book, “Another Day”, and that seriously ruined things for me.I partially blame the law of diminishing marginal utility applying itself. I still like it upon re-read, although not as much as the first time.Actually I want to quote chunks of the book, but obvi I can’t do that.Also, also: “What is it about the moment you fall in love? How can such a small measure of time contain such enormity?”.That’s why we have to care about each other.” Also: “ Ultimately, the universe doesn’t care about us.I mean: “She is so lost in her sadness that she has no idea how visible it is.”.David Levithan writes such emotionally raw lines that makes me want to crawl up in a coccoon and weep for a while.Because of having to switch bodies every day, he has developed a high sense of empathy but he is also naive in other ways, like falling in love for example. A’s voice has this mixed innocence and maturity in it. I like how the book gives me this unique perspective of A living a different kind of life each day. I remember liking this so much the first time that I might have rated it 5 stars then.I’ve read it before my book blogging days.
