it was hard to enjoy this when I got hit in the face with the fatphobia from the end of the original book. there was a line of that in here, too.

still, it was enjoyable. I love the little snapshots. it’s fun.

Etter å ha lest Every Day rett før, ble denne ganske repetativ, og den forklarte heller ikke noe særlig nytt. Men, helt okei i tråd med den "første" boka.

Prequel to [b:Every Day|13262783|Every Day (Every Day, #1)|David Levithan|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1356993940s/13262783.jpg|18464379]. This book recounts six random days before the events of Every Day.

It's alright. I mean...I only read it because I was experiencing an Every Day hangover. I'm not a big fan of prequels and mini-stories that are set between the big titles. So...this was alright.

As I mentioned before, I really enjoyed the concept of the first book, and while Six Earlier Days is no the best book I've read in my entire time, it was still a very enjoyable one. The only problem I do have with it is the fact that every day through which A goes makes me want to know how it's going to end. And yes, this is how good David Levithan is in developing teenagers in such a short amount of pages.

Parts I liked:

"Some days are like this. And the only way to get through them is to remember that they are only one day, and that every day ends."

"the random thoughts that are made a little less random when they’re shared."

"It’s the secret smile you get from knowing that, somewhere, there is someone who is yours. Not in the sense that you own her, control her. She is yours because you can say anything to her, whenever you need to. And she can do the same, whenever she needs to. Most of the time this isn’t necessary. But the secret smile comes from knowing it’s available,"

"but with some people there are subterranean currents beneath every interaction; they treat their friendships as politics and their lives as performance."

talk about being bisexual GET IT?? no? you need to read this then.

Little premise to two novels which I'm not sure I will like, because the plot is not really something I would appreciate, but let's hope for the best.

Piccola storia che fa da premessa a due romanzi che non sono sicura mi piaceranno, in quanto la trama non é del tipo che mi faccia proprio impazzire, ma continuo a sperare.

I adore this world. It is complicated, and makes me think things, and sometimes I wish it would go on forever, and other times I wish it would desperately stop in that way things have... If you haven't read Every Day, I recommend you read it. It's one of those stories that gets right to the bottom about who people are, and why we do the things we do, and raises issues about free will and how much of it we really actually have. I loved this.

I read ‘Six Days Earlier’ as it was purported to be a prelude to ‘Every Day’ and was interested in how this set the scene. Plus it was ultra short and could give me quick insight into what to expect in this series.

This felt a little hit and miss for me – I loved the snippets of lives and the attitude for wearing their skin, leaving everything at a point where the owner could step back in without too many changes.

A’s attitude about life, people, and how to treat others is steaks beyond much of YA out there. The open and non-judgemental mind developed over so many years of walking in just about everyone else’s shoes.

Love the concept, enjoyed a voyeuristic snapshot of so many lives, but ultimately was left feeling a little disorientated and wondered what the purpose of this novelette was… maybe I’ll get some more perspective when I read more of the franchise. I think I’ll have to revisit this short after reading ‘Every Day’ and put it into context; but as a whole I’m not sure what it was supposed to add to the series – but a great snapshot of what to expect, though, too short to give you any answers.
