What i think of David Levithan's writings so far: usually it has kinda meandering & jumbled plot execution but often has very very emphatic & thoughtful insights, which I like.

As far as sequels go, this one wasn’t bad. It didn’t quite live up to the first book (but then again sequels rarely do). But there was just something missing. I think part of it was because the switching of bodies somehow managed to take a back seat. There was so much focus on figuring out how to stop X, which wasn’t a bad path to follow necessarily, but I was missing more of how A dealt with being in a different body each day. There was a lot of potential with the side characters as well that could’ve been more developed (or hey maybe even have a book of their own). Overall, a very enjoyable book, and I still love the concept, but there was the potential for more.

Although I still really like the premise of this series, Someday was a little too focused on dissecting "What makes us human?" and didn't have enough story line to drive the book.
