Six Earlier Days by David Levithan

1.0

Irrelevant to the main novella. I wished Levithan just wrote something that would've taken a more introspective view of A. This novella was unnecessary and was obviously written for marketing purposes. Though the content was fairly decent, the very existence of the novella does not add any kind of relevant or any complementary details for the main novel.

Great read.


It is a nice little insight to how things used to be. I wish it was more than six days.

A short story presenting some more days in A's life. We see as he/she progresses through different bodies and different emotions. Related to Every Day (with Rhiannon) but not a part of their story.

Human beings act very much like storms when there’s something to say. Very rarely in nature does a deluge catch you by complete surprise. There are the signs before—the sky darkening, the wind picking up, the air smelling like rain even before a drop has hit. With Nicole, the sky darkens when I look up to find her watching me do my homework.

even though it's short, it's still full of beautiful revelations and situations. [a:David Levithan|11664|David Levithan|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1208616138p2/11664.jpg] is amazing. I can't wait for book 2!

When one of my teammates botches a shot, the coach tells him to stop being a girl. I wish I could tell him that I was a girl two days ago, and two days before that. Nothing is different. A shot is a shot.

I love this novella prequel to Every Day. It's so interesting to read about A's thoughts about switching bodies and how they try to make it through the day in someone else's body. Especially when all these feelings are involved. A doesn't want to get too involved, not knowing how much the person will remember the next day.

I love the concept and it kind of makes you stop and think and watch others as A does.

3.5/5
I actually read this AFTER every day..but i doesn't matter..i didn't expect any exlpanation about why A is A like most people do because the story itself isn't about A's nature..not technically but it was more about his perspective on life, society and love. This book shows a lot of humanity between its pages, i had the chance to discover more people and to see people, to know them for better saying, with a whole diffrent way! and that's the point!
it was so easy to connect with the characters, the writing is smooth and i flew on it. over all it was great!

Interesting to see more of A's days, just wish they weren't so romance centric.
