Synopsis

A graphic novel adaptation of the groundbreaking, beloved New York Times–bestselling novel about a teen who wakes up in a different body each day and the love that eludes them.

Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl.





There’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that—even established guidelines by which to live: Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere.

It’s all fine until the morning that 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 they want to be with—day in, day out, day after day. But can Rhiannon love someone who is destined to change every day?

For the first time on the page, A's epic story will be brought to life as a graphic novel, with illustrations by Dion MBD.

Reviews

Gr 9 Up—What does it take to fall in love? One perfect day. That is really all A has before waking up in the body of yet another person. But in the course of one day as Justin, A has fallen in love with Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon. The problem is that tomorrow A will be someone else. Though A has promised themselves that they won't interfere with their hosts' lives, they find themselves drawn to Rhiannon and continually seek her out in their various forms in hopes of being loved for their true self. Fans of the original novel will appreciate the way the full-color, comic-style illustrations add depth to the story and characters. For readers unfamiliar with Levithan's work, hand to readers who enjoy Alice Oseman's "Heartstopper," Trung Le Nguyen's The Magic Fish, or Molly Ostertag's The Girl from the Sea. VERDICT A welcome addition to high school graphic novel collections, especially where romance circulates well.—Monisha Blair
