Has some interesting stories, but all in all, nothing ground breaking if you've read the first book.

Fave part:

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, or 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, even when she’s half a world away.

Great companion

I read "Every Day" a few years ago and really enjoyed it. The concept always stuck with me. This is a great supplement read. It's 6 stories, 6 lives that A finds themselves in. No resolutions, just snippets of time.

I read this right after reading Every Day. I dug Every Day, a lot, and was hoping this would shed more light on things. I didn't really find that it did. Sometimes these companion books are great, sometimes they are a bust. This one was a bust for me.

This is a short read, written exactly like the main book but with a glimpses into a couple of earlier days, age 7 and on up to jus around when the Novel itself begins. I'm not sure what the point was, if there was something there to learn I didn't find it.

I honestly feel like they threw it out there as a way take $1.99 from me. Just because other authors are doing this sort of thing doesn't mean it always make sense. If you read the book I think you'll find it to be enough. I'm not a fan of giving one star, so this is my first simply for the fact that I feel ripped off.

I'll probably be more than happy to try out another one of David Levithan's full length novels though because Every Day was fantastic!

I loved David Levithan's novel Every Day about a teenage entity who wakes up each morning in a different body, but this prequel just didn't do it for me. I think the intent was to showcase how A adopted their principles and grew to be the kind of person who would fall for Rhiannon at the start of Every Day, but there's not really a huge disconnect between the characterization here and there, and I didn't feel like I learned anything new about A's character in this story. Read Every Day and consider the companion novel Another Day, but don't bother with this one.

Hello-Goodbye

And in just those few little pages I'm immediately transported back into A's lonely world. Except this time it's worse because the last life you leave is the story of Sam and Mark and I really liked them. Granted, Mark wasn't really Mark at the time, but I still wanted to know what was going to happen, how it'd play out. If that's how I feel as the reader, imagine being A! Dipping into all these lives and then being ripped away again, never knowing what is going to happen to these people that for one day you cared so much for. It's heartbreaking.

And, since I didn't mention it in my review for https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/502150834">Every Day, can you imagine jumping into all these different lives and for one day, until midnight, living whatever horrors or beauties that they do. Having to leave that abused 5 year old child there to live in torment while you move on. OR, to have to leave the perfect family you've always dreamed of to be ripped away at midnight to someone else's life.

The imagination you must have to create this tragic existence. I have absolutely no idea how Levithan can end this series that will even remotely leave us satisfied.

I really enjoyed reading more from A's life and about the other people that were involved.

Novellas are for me, like always, way too short. I would have liked to get to know A better and learn more of his/her feelings and thoughts.

The writing was, as expected, very beautiful.

I look forward to read more of David Levithan's works!

A tad boring but still interesting to read from different perspectives/lives.
This wasn't entirely needed but was still a good read.
