Quick Summary
If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be on the other side of a love that feels too perfect to be real, this novel gives you that perspective through Rhiannon, a high-school senior whose boyfriend seems to forget the magical day they spent together. The twist discovered when a mysterious stranger points out that the Justin she fell for wasn't actually Justin reveals that the day was lived by A, the body-shifting protagonist from Levithan's earlier book "Every Day." Readers who love YA romance that tackles questions of identity, memory, and what it means to truly know someone will find this story both touching and a little unsettling. Because the narrative is told from Rhiannon's point of view, it feels more grounded and emotionally raw than a typical love story, and it adds depth to the world introduced in the first book. Parents should note the book includes some profanity and sexual references, typical for upper-grade YA, so it's best for older teens who can handle those themes.
