Yuè answers “I personally really didn't like Rhiannon...”

✨faith✨trust✨pixiedust✨ Dead Account; Not Coming Back asked this question about Another Day (Every Day, #2):

I personally really didn't like Rhiannon and don't much care to read the exact same book but from her perspective, so is there anything to this that is unique other than her POV? If someone could use a spoiler tag to tell me exactly what that something is, if it exists, I'd be very grateful.

Well, it's a bit of both. On one hand, it is indeed the exact same story with some added parts. For example, Rhiannon attends a party with her friends without A. Or Rhiannon has dinner with Justin's parents. They can be seen as "missing moments" and "additional scenes", but Every Day can still work as a standalone without those moments, so you don't necessarily need to read it. After all, it is not a sequel. It does not fully expand the story of Every Day.

On the other hand, it really shows Rhiannon as more than a love interest. Just like you, I wasn't a big fan of Rhiannon, but this book has changed it for me. Rhiannon is no longer a side-character and the love interest. Rhiannon is a human being with feelings. Reading the story from her POV, about how she experienced all of this, gave me more insight of what is going on and how she is. Not only that, but her relationships with everyone (A, Justin, Rebecca, Preston, Steve, Ben, Stephanie) get more depht. I gave the book 3,5 stars, almost four, because I really enjoyed reading from her POV and reading her thoughts. The reason I didn't give it a higher score was simply because it was the same story.

I think there is only one big thing that might play a role in Someday. <spoiler>In the last chapter, Rhiannon wakes up next to Alexander, who "recognises" her. She thinks Alexander is a great guy, but the story ends with a sort of cliffhanger where she decides to not follow A's wishes. Despite A not telling her to go looking for them, it ends with Rhiannon looking at Alexander's computer and she says that she is going to find A, no matter what. I think the last line is "I only want A." So maybe Rhiannon trying to find A might play a role in Someday, but that is it.</spoiler>

I hope this helps.(less)
