Unique submitted by yugure on October 23, 2012, 10:20am Intriguing premise successfully carried out by Levithan, with a fitting, if somewhat sad, ending. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to this.

The Unnoticed Joy of Continuity submitted by Jan Wolter on June 21, 2013, 12:00pm I gave this book five stars, but maybe I shouldn't have. Maybe I should save five stars for Shakespeare or Le Guin and the real gems of great literature. But I enjoyed every moment of reading this book, and it left me with much to think about and no regrets, so it is perfect in the moment, and what more can I ask for?

A person wakes up every morning in a different stranger's body. Always someone around sixteen, always someone not awfully far away from yesterday's person, and never the same person twice. Sometimes male, sometimes female. Different situations, different races. It has been this way since babyhood. The host's memories are accessible, with difficulty, but their feelings are not. The feelings belong to the visitor, and the visitor is in love. It's a story that makes me suddenly appreciative of the luxury of continuity - each day I live, another day is promised to me, to build with, to make amends, to keep growing. It's also a sampler of lives. I want to read it to my kids, because I like the way it expresses the idea that there are many people that you can be, that the way the world seems to be doesn't have to be the way it is. But the book is maybe a bit mature for my kids right now. Maybe when they are closer in age to the protagonist.

An unusual book, with unusual insights. Worth reading.

I think I successfully wrote this review without calling the protagonist "he" or "she". The English language is uncooperative about that. Thank God for the first person singular, or this book would have been impossible.

Amazing submitted by Lulu D on July 12, 2015, 4:48pm This is one of my favorite books. It is very unique

Beautiful submitted by jessicazhang on June 18, 2016, 4:32pm Beautifully written, with a slightly sad ending

Wow! submitted by Xris on June 16, 2017, 10:44pm Such a unique premise, but wonderfully written. Want to read the next book now!

every day submitted by cayleyrocks on July 23, 2018, 10:57am It is a cool book. I give it four stars. Not a kids book because it's slightly inappropriate but I loved it. and I'm eleven.

Great submitted by manz on August 10, 2018, 2:47pm I enjoy David Levithan's writing, and this book did not disappoint. I liked how the odd premise really worked!

addicting but frustrating submitted by umich.reader on June 12, 2022, 11:06pm I read this book so fast because I was looking for an explanation for all the plot holes. Usually they were never explained.
