Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Celebrate all the ways love makes us who we are with this enthralling and poignant follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Every Day--now a major motion picture.

David Levithan turns his New York Times bestseller Every Day on its head by flipping perspectives in this exploration of love and how it can change you.  
 
Every day is the same for Rhiannon. She has accepted her life, convinced herself that she deserves her distant, temperamental boyfriend, Justin, even established guidelines by which to live: Don’t be too needy. Avoid upsetting him. Never get your hopes up.
 
Until the morning everything changes. Justin seems to see her, to want to be with her for the first time, and they share a perfect day—a perfect day Justin doesn’t remember the next morning. Confused, depressed, and desperate for another day as great as that one, Rhiannon starts questioning everything. Then, one day, a stranger tells her that the Justin she spent that day with, the one who made her feel like a real person . . . wasn’t Justin at all.

That couldn’t be possible, right? There has to be so much more to it than a retelling in a different POV. This Fabi......more

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 f......more


Quotes

PRAISE FOR ANOTHER DAY:

"It’s a tricky concept, but in Levithan’s hands it works.” —EW.com
 
“[A] richly developed story that takes readers deep into its co-protagonists’ beings. . . . Though Levithan considers this to be the earlier novel’s ‘twin,’ it has a separate, deeply satisfying identity and can be read on its own.” —Booklist, starred review
 
PRAISE FOR EVERY DAY:
 
“A story that is always alluring, oftentimes humorous and much like love itself—splendorous.” —Los Angeles Times
