My first reaction to this: NO NO NO NO DAVID LEVITHAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Every Day is a book that needs no sequel. In our series-obsessed culture, it's refreshing to have a book that stands alone. Especially a book like that, with an ending that basically negates any possibility for sequels.

The thing about this sequel, though, is that we don't know if it's a continuation of the story beyond Every Day, or just Every Day from Rhiannon's point of view. We'll see.

Well, how about that? When my friend mentioned that Another Day is basically just a retelling of Every Day except in the point of view of Rhiannon, secretly I was like “Pft! That couldn’t be possible, right? There has to be so much more to it than a retelling in a different POV. This Fabian person I’m sure is just exaggerating.” Now, I’m figuratively smashing my head on the wall and sending an apology to my friend telepathically because he was right all along, very right.

Another Day (Every Day #2), David Levithan

Another Day is a young adult romance and fantasy novel written by American author David Levithan. The novel was published on August 25, 2015 through Random House Children's Books.

Every Day establishes the story line through the perspective of "A", a mystical soul who falls in love with a girl named Rhiannon. Another Day features a similar story line; however, it is retold through Rhiannon's perspective.

Both books were followed up by a sequel in 2018 ent Another Day (Every Day #2), David Levithan

Another Day is a young adult romance and fantasy novel written by American author David Levithan. The novel was published on August 25, 2015 through Random House Children's Books.

Every Day establishes the story line through the perspective of "A", a mystical soul who falls in love with a girl named Rhiannon. Another Day features a similar story line; however, it is retold through Rhiannon's perspective.

Both books were followed up by a sequel in 2018 entitled Someday that incorporates both A and Rhiannon's perspectives in different chapters along with a multitude of other perspectives.

The novel starts off with what seems like a normal day for Rhiannon; she watches her boyfriend, Justin, pull into the school parking lot, hoping he still was not mad from last night's fight. Their everyday routine is broken, however, when Justin suggests getting away for the day, to which Rhiannon chooses to go to the beach.

On the way to the beach, Justin is acting out of character and doing things he would not normally do. Rhiannon does not seem to mind too much; however, she is still cautious about her actions and words.

Rhiannon and Justin end up sharing a romantic day, even going as far as pulling the "make out" blanket from the car trunk. The couple lounge about on the blanket, never going farther than sharing a kiss or two.

While laying on the blanket, Rhiannon and Justin share childhood memories with each other that they have not shared with anyone else. At the day end, Rhiannon suggests that future days end up just like the one they shared. Justin only replies, "I don't want you to think every day is going to be like today. Because they're not going to be, alright? They can't be." ...

Retellings are so hard to get right, but when you combine a retelling from a borderline unlikeable character and you don't add anything new to the table, things go downhill VERY quickly.

Just in case anyone was wondering, this CANNOT be read as a standalone. It is completely dependent on Every Day for context and plot. In fact, if you are expecting any sort of story structure, look elsewhere.

I read Every Day out of nowhere years ago. I was reading a lot of YA books then, but if you give me Every Day right now, I'd still give it a go. The synopsis is still pretty great, and the execution was still good for me. I liked the story, ending, and characters. Not much complaints when it comes to the first novel. It's a bit of a different story for the second novel though. Second novel being a different point of view.

What I hated the most would be the whole idea of the novel. Yeah it sounds bad now, but continue reading to know why I rated this as such. I hated the fact that the author wanted readers of Every Day to know Rhiannon's point of view. In the first novel, it seemed like he gave Rhiannon closure. She can be happy, in the future at least. What I read in this novel was a girl's point of view when it comes to relationship. Not necessarily all types, but at least of one. Like I said in the beginning, Contemp YA is not my genre, so I didn't enjoy this that much. Those who are fond of the genre would enjoy this a lot for sure. It wasn't a terrible read though, but it was a bit tedious to read a lot about what she wanted. All the ramblings got a bit tiring after a while.

(view spoiler)

I know that I shouldn't be comparing this to the first book, but it's honestly inevitable. I liked the first novel way better, because of the whole premise. It's cool to think that someone/something could do what A can. To have no permanent life, friends, family, etc. It's scary in a way.

3.5/5 stars. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. For those who have read the first novel, don't expect the same mystery. This is straight up contemporary. I'm sure that most people would rate this higher, but a 3.5 from a guy who barely reads the genre is pretty high. The novel was not that bad, not bad at all.

Another Day is literally like re-reading a book you loved, but told in the perspective of the worst character with the most boring plot. Okay, maybe that's a bit too harsh, but its hard not to be annoyed when I read such a pointless novel.

Nobody here doesn't know what form his or her love will take. And instead of feeling
superior to them--instead of feeling smug because I have what they don't have--I find myself
envying them."

Rhiannon struggles to figure herself out... To figure *A* out... She loves *A*......(gender neutral).
These two love each other. Both wish for stability...yet how can that be with their very challenging circumstance? Is 'any' love really considered 'stable'? Is that even the right question to ask? Rhiannon especially grapples with this question.

Having read 'Every Day', ( maybe my favorite Teen book 'ever'), which first examined questions
About what it might be like to wake up in a different body each day... and what would it be like to fall in love with a person who changed every day....in "Another Day".... These same issues
get explored looking deeper into problem resolutions. These two books together make a perfect set of 'bookends'.
A few times - I thought about reading a book in Hebrew. ( for some reason these two-books-togther simply gave me the association). We read a book from right to left in Hebrew
Seems backwards to most.... Yes perfectly normal for Israeli's. If this was a backward book..
or a forward book... I absolutely loved it.
The entire concept of both these two books is fascinating- charming- and wise!

“Every Day” is one my all-time favorite YA books, if not my very favorite. The story is truly unusual and very moving. It’s the tale of “A,” a non-gender specific entity who wakes up every day inhabiting a new human body. It can be anyone within a 4-hour radius, as long as the person is the same age as the currently teenaged “A.” “A” has been this way as long as he (for convenience, I will refer to “A” as a “he” although “A” has no gender) can remember and has learned how to inhabit his hosts respectfully, not taking advantage of them and trying hard not to alter the course of their lives in any way. One day, “A” wakes up in the body of Justin, a sixteen year old boy. Justin has a girlfriend, Rhiannon. In the day that “A” spends in Justin’s body, he falls in love with Rhiannon, and as he continues to “body-hop,” he finds ways to be with Rhiannon, finally revealing his secret to her. Their relationship and its complications and implications form the crux of that book. I absolutely loved it.

“Another Day” is NOT a sequel to “Every Day,” it is a companion book that tells the exact same story from Rhiannon’s perspective. I have mixed feelings about it – while I enjoyed revisiting the story and the characters, it lost its emotional pull on me a little bit. I am not sure if that’s because I already knew the story and how it ends or because Rhiannon was a less compelling center to the story. Probably a little of both. I’m glad I read it and I liked it, but I really wish Levithan had just left the whole thing alone. He ends “Another Day” in a bit of a cliffhanger fashion, so I fear an actual sequel is in the works. Note to Mr. Levithan – walk away, dude. Don’t diminish perfection; let this classic story stand as written.

If you haven’t read “Every Day” and you enjoy young adult literature, it’s a must-read. Definitely DO NOT read “Another Day” before “Every Day.” “Every Day” is the better book and has the more powerful viewpoint and impact.

This is a 3.5 for me, but closer to a 3 than a 4.

Such a great companion (or twin, as Levithan would say)!

I loved the idea behind Every Day and Another Day. While you might think these books are about what it's like to change bodies every day, it's actually much more about how it is to love someone for who they really are, and how hard it is to forget about what you see. It's something I've always thought about, because our society is becoming more and more open about homosexuality and transgenders - and much more people who simply can't fit in Such a great companion (or twin, as Levithan would say)!

I loved the idea behind Every Day and Another Day. While you might think these books are about what it's like to change bodies every day, it's actually much more about how it is to love someone for who they really are, and how hard it is to forget about what you see. It's something I've always thought about, because our society is becoming more and more open about homosexuality and transgenders - and much more people who simply can't fit into any category we have. Because this is how we live. We see someone and we immediately have to put tags on them: boy or girl? good-looking or not? straight or not? smart or not? nice or not? cool or not? Once you've grown up living like this, it's incredibly hard to get over this habit, which is what Rhiannon's going through in this book. In reality, you can't always fit into one category, and as fine as we can be about it, there'll always be difficulties when you're trying to live that way, as stupid as they can be. I really liked how these novels made me think about issues like this and how I would react if it were happening to me, because I truly got a life lesson out of reading them.

I am really glad I could read this book. While I didn't expect a companion novel, I can now see how necessary it was to completely grasp the meaning of the story. There's so much difference in how you and another person can see a single event, so the full story can have much more meaning from one perspective than another. I read Every Day a very long time ago, so I remember the biggest part of the story, but not the specific details. However, there were many things I remembered from A's perspective that weren't mentionned in Another Day, which is why I would recommend reading both books in the order they came out, because I really liked comparing both and knowing some details unknown by Rhiannon in this book.

In this book, we can find the same characters there are in Every Day, only slightly more centered around Rhiannon's life. I loved many of her friends, because I thought they were honest and very kind to her, no matter how lost she is at some points in this book. They are true friends and I was happy to discover more details about them than I had in Every Day. I also really enjoyed getting to know A from Rhiannon's perspective, because without the explanations given in the original novel, his actions can be seen very differently. My only complain is that this way, A sometimes seemed more annoying and persistent then loving and determined, but in the end I could see why he would act this way. If someone were to act like this because of their feelings for me, I would be very touched, because A's actions speak more loudly than his words most of the time. Rhiannon is a great character, with all her strenght and her capacity to see things as they really are. The way she handles everything impressed me, because she never wants to lie to herself and she allows herself to see things positively, even though it can be hard sometimes. I definitely started to like her even more in this book, because her reasons for acting like she did are pretty much all really good and she's a good person, all this while being a simple teenager.

I adored the way this novel was written. It's fluent and clear, but it's also beautiful and it made me think, analyse and feel everything, just as it should. I don't remember much of Every Day's writing, but I know for a fact that I loved Another Day's. I think Levithan did a wonderful job of telling another side of his story and it couldn't have been done any better. There had to have been a lot of thought behind every action and it's clearly been done, because everything fits so perfectly with what remembrance I had of Every Day. By this point, I don't know if I have convinced you to read this novel, after having read the first one, but let me tell you this: you need it, wether you know it or not. It will make your previous read a whole lot better.

However, there's something about the ending that makes me wonder a lot about what happens afterwards, so if you have read Another Day, I need to know what you think about it. Please!

Overall, I would recommend this novel a billion times. I know it can be read before the first one, or even on its own, but I seriously think it's better to read it the way it was published.

Then I found out it was actually a companion novel, written from Rhiannon’s point of view, one of the characters in Every Day. And I thought it would be interesting to see how this will turn out. And I liked it. It’s similar to Every Day, but it’s definitely not the same book.
It’s very difficult to talk about this book, without referring to Every Day, which tells the story of A, a boy (?) who switches bodies every day. Every morning, he wakes up in a different body, and he’s comfortable with this until he meets Rhiannon, when he inhabits her boyfriend’s body. He then tries his best to make their relationship work, even though everything is against them. It was really interesting to see their story from Rhiannon’s perspective. I got to understand her a bit better, and it shed light on some of her behavior. From what I have seen, a lot of people don’t like her very much. I found her quite a realistic character, even though I hated the way she let her boyfriend dictate their relationship. But her interactions with A were believable, all her confusion and hesitation are pouring off the pages and all the reasons she finds against the relationship are extremely valid. It’s a very confusion position to find yourself in. And it’s no wonder she’s acting the way she is. She’s still fighting for him, though. She wants the love he’s willing to give her. She recognizes the fact that she’s in an abusive relationship. And she knows she deserves better.
I loved the writing. It’s poetic and I easily fell into the story thanks to it. Honestly, the best way to read these books would be at the same time. This way, you’re able to get the full picture and understand the characters in the best way possible. Because it’s a complicated story. And it needs an ending.
Which brings me to the reason I rated this just 3 stars. The ending. The last couple of sentences made me so mad. It’s an open ending, but it just screams “more more more more more”. Both books end with the characters wanting more. Yet, we don’t get this. We don’t get to see what happens to them. And that’s infuriating. I’d rather have gotten a proper sequel to Every Day than this. It seems a bit redundant, although, like I said, it’s still interesting to read.
In the end, it’s effectively up to you if you want to read this. It works as a companion, but you can very easily read it even if you haven’t read Every Day. It was good, but I wanted more. Just not more of the same.
Favourite quotes:

“ These books are always there for me. All of them are there for me. My life changes all the time, but books don't change. Your reading of them changes--you can bring new things to them each time. But the words are familiar words. The world is a place you've been before, and it welcomes you back.”

“- I know that deep down, I mean the world to him.
- Deep down? [...] You shouldn't have to venture deep down in order to get to love.”

This book was the second to the Every day series. The first book was told in one part of view and this book was told in different view. The author did such a great job of really getting in every single detail about the story and really made you think you were the character.

This review was originally posted on (un)Conventional Bookviews
Another Day is the other side of Every Day, the story seen from Rhiannon's perspective, and all that happens after she meets A.

Review - (un)Conventional Bookviews

While Another Day is mostly the same story as Every Day, there are some differences as well, as the readers see some of the things that happen to Rhiannon when she's not with A. All her self-doubts and the choices she makes made more sense to me when I was inside her head, as opposed to reading everything ...more

Full disclosure: I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.

Over the last few years, David Levithan has written or co-written some of my favorite books. And after reading his latest, Another Day , I'm starting to wonder if there's anything Levithan can't do.

Another Day is a companion novel to Levithan's excellent, moving, Every Day , which was one of my favorite books of 2012. This new book tells the story of Rhiannon, a high school studen ...more

"I read it a lot, whenever I find it in a library. Partly because I find new things every time I read it, but also because these books are always there for me. All of them are there for me. My life changes all the time, but books don't change. Your reading of them changes- you can bring new things to them each time. But the words are familiar words. The world is a place you've been before, and it welcomes you back."

It's funny how the exact same ending from two different characters can feel SO different. I loved this a lot.

This is a tough one. A very interesting 'sequel' to Every Day, where we see events from Rhiannon's perspective. On the one hand it's great to see the other side of the coin, why she reacted to certain things the way she did in book 1, what was really going through her mind and what she was up to when A wasn't with her. Also a great insight into her relationship with Justin so that we can see a little of his vulnerability, and her relationships with the rest of her friendship group.

Also a great insight into her relationship with Justin so that we can see a little of his vulnerability, and her relationships with the rest of her friendship group.

I had a couple of struggles here, and firstly I need to admit that I'm not a huge fan of 'other POV' sequels; I'm good with dual-POV in books, but an entire sequel starting the story over from the beginning can really drag for me. I tried to start reading it immediately after finishing book 1. For me that was a big mistake, it became repetitive and a little stale, I really needed to take a break and read something else in between. Having done that I managed to get into it and enjoy it a lot more, especially after a few chapters when the story starts to branch off more into Rhiannon's life. Her home life and relationship with her parents was important I think, but only very briefly touched upon and I would have liked to know more about her mother's struggles.

But the real problem I had with this story is Rhiannon herself. I find her incredibly dull. I'm sorry, but I do. I did like her more in this story, in Every Day I thought she was a little superficial and shallow, and this really helped to give more of a philosophical view to her thoughts and we really get to see her character growth. She does question what sexuality and gender really are, but I don't think she really developed enough to understand either. I just wanted something more from her. I guess what I'm trying to say is, even though both books happen at the same time, if I'd read this one first there's no way I'd read Every Day. Every Day is a powerful, exciting and interesting read, and this just wasn't for me.

I'm hopeful for a book 3 so that I can find out what happens AFTER Every Day. I miss A! ...more

Meh, hated the main character (Rhiannon), didn't find her likeable, interesting or all that sympathetic. The story wasn't much better, it was just a repeat of Every Day, without the engaging narrator or any of the mystery, depth or originality of Every Day.

Meh, hated the main character (Rhiannon), didn't find her likeable, interesting or all that sympathetic. The story wasn't much better, it was just a repeat of Every Day, without the engaging narrator or any of the mystery, depth or originality of Every Day.

-Rhiannon was a whiny, clingy, spineless needy doormat who let her boyfriend's (Justin) wants and needs dictate her entire life. She let him emotionally abuse her day in and day out all because she didn't want to be alone, which would have been sad if she didn't have friends or family around her who cared for her and were trying to reach out to her. Even though her parents were barely in it, there was nothing to suggest they were bad in any way, that didn't stop her bitching about them though. It felt hard to be on Rhiannon's side when it came to her feeling alone and her issues with her parents when nothing was shown of them being neglectful or awful. Her friends were also there for her and encouraging her to spend time with them, but the silly cow refused because she had to be at Justin's beck and call - so yea, I didn't sympathise with her feeling alone or sad when she'd clearly bought it all on herself.

-Absolutely loathed Justin. He was a rubbish boyfriend, he treated Rhiannon appallingly and only wanted her for sex or when he wanted someone to listen to him bitch and moan about his latest problem. Everything about him was horrible. He expected everything from Rhiannon - for her to always say and do the right thing, for her to always be there for him and support him but at the same time not to be too clingy or not to ask too many questions. He wanted everything his way and his feelings were the only ones that mattered.
I didn't feel sorry for him when Rhiannon cheated with A, it was his indifference, selfishness and manipulative ways that drove her to look for a connection elsewhere. I wasn't on his side when he found out about the cheating, as he was the one who destroyed their relationship in the first place, if he'd respected her even a little bit or shown her some affection that was non-sex related then she would never have betrayed him. It was infuriating how he ended up looking like the wronged one whilst Rhiannon was the evil one, she should have stuck up for herself and told Justin some home truths but she stayed true to her doormat ways to the very end and let him humiliate and abuse her all whilst he played the victim. I didn't feel sorry for Rhiannon either, she was too dumb and weak when it came to Justin and she only had herself to blame for letting him treat her like crap. I would have respected Rhiannon more if she's grown a spine and confronted Justin about the way he treated her, but the weakling let him get away with everything.

-Found Rhiannon's POV unrealistic at times, like her being so focused on Justin whilst not having any interest whatsoever in anything or anyone else (well, until A, her other love interest). It didn't ring true her only caring about Justin (especially when he treated her like crap) whilst being so disconnected from her family and friends, who actually gave a damn about her. It wasn't like Justin was pulling her away from her loved ones, she just didn't care about them. She didn't care about anything but Justin (and later on A), her education, her future, her family/friends didn't matter, she had no hobbies or interests, everything revolved around her love life. Yea, that didn't sound likely. Also, some of her thoughts seemed less like the thoughts of a teenage girl and more like what a man thinks a teenager girl thinks about.

-It was a bit rich of Rhiannon to think her mum was so pathetic when she was far, far more pathetic than her mum. At least her mum wasn't walking around on eggshells to please the awful people in her life, she lived her life the way she wanted.

-Liked how Rhiannon didn't act like some sappy idiot when it came to A's changing bodies, she was uncomfortable with it and found it hard to get her head around it. I was glad it didn't go down the usual YA route of Rhiannon loving A no matter what body he/she was wearing because that would have been ridiculous and totally unrealistic, no-one would just happily accept someone if they weren't attracted to the outside package, especially if the outside kept changing everyday. I didn't find her selfish or shallow for not wanting to be with A when he was in a body she wasn't attracted to - who'd want to be with someone that makes them uncomfortable or someone who they're not attracted to?

-Thought the ending was pretty good with Rhiannon rejecting A's idea of getting with that Alexander guy and her wanting to reach out to A again. It made A's story a little more hopeful than the depressing way it ended in Every Day.

Reading a story that you've already read in a different character's point of view is always going to be an interesting perspective. In the case of Another Day it came very close to perfection.

Was it as good as Every Day? Not entirely, but I really enjoyed reading the story in Rhiannon's point of view. And the ending made me so very hopeful!

The story was pretty much the same of course, but this time we lived everything through Rhiannon's eyes. You'd think things would get repetitive but it really ...more

THERE IS A COVER!!

Actual Rating: 3.5 stars

Although I enjoyed this one and felt it did add some very interesting points and discussions, I couldn't connect with Rhiannon very well. Also, I really enjoyed being in A's perspective and finding out about the people he woke up as everyday. There was a little less of a fantasy element because it wasn't from A's perspective. I still enjoyed it though and it was a very quick read!
