Description
David Levithan (f. 1972) debuterade med boken Ibland bara måste man, som skildrar en stad där ingen lägger någon värdering i sexuell läggning. I såväl sina samarbeten med Rachel Cohn (bl. a. Nick och Norahs oändliga låtlista, som också filmatiserats) och John Green som i sina egna böcker tänjer Levithan hela tiden gränser för hur genus och sexualitet kan skildras för unga. Han bor i Hoboken, New Jersey och när han inte skriver arbetar han som förläggare på Scholastics.
"Levithan är en av mina favoritförfattare. Inte heller denna gång gör han mig besviken. Jag älskar att han gett En liv. Kan inte annat än att känna med En. Mycket. Läs och känn du också."
Ystads Allehanda
"En unik och fin historia."
Jönköpingsposten
"Det finns författare som man förväntansfullt ser fram emot att läsa, eftersom man vet att de kommer att överraska en. David Levithan är en sådan författare, en som tar risker för att bryta nya vägar i berättandet."

Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl.
Review originally posted at Doodle's Book BlogEvery Day is a remarkable story unlike any other I've ever read. It was unique, heartbreaking and brilliant. It is a story to get lost in. David Levithan went beyond the imaginable and wrote an outstanding novel that left me breathless.What would you do if you woke up in a new body every day? What would you do if you fell in love with a girl? Would you tell her? Try to be with her? Seek her out? Ignore your feelings? Trust her with your secrets? For A, that is his life. A new body everyday. Then one day he meets a girl. Someone he would do anything for, but what are his limits? How much can she take?There are so many words of praise bouncing around in my head for this story. So many thoughts and feelings that were aroused by this book. A is a stand up person who tries to keep each body he/she inhibits on their rightful path. Trying not to screw up their lives, never really living for him/herself, but rather the person he/she is temporarily inhabiting. I was immediately sucked into this story. The plot was fantastic and different from my norm. It engaged me and made me want to turn the page. The need to know how everything would play out and how he/she would treat each body pulled me into a deeper trance. It was enticing.Overall, David Levithan made me question what I would do in A's situation. It kept me on my toes. Each day meant a new body and new troubles to overcome. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
