There is some wording that, due to the time the book came out, is not contemporary and some people might take offense to that, even though it was the best at the time for a subject we were still learning aboutsummer_winter's review against another edition

At first I was disappointed to see that this was the same story told in Rhiannon's perspective but it added more character depth and I liked that however I feel this wasn't really necessary. I thought the sequel would be explaining what happens the events in Everyday; I wanted to know what happens a next so bad I went and brought this book straight away and I was kind of hoping for answers, I still am hoping David Levithan will write another book to make it a trilogy and give us answers but I very highly doubt it, I really enjoyed these books as they were so creative and it's great to read something different to the normal story and reading them has made me realise to be so grateful for what I have and I love when you can take something with you after you finish a book and I definitely feel I can after finishing this dualology- Please David Levithan, if you read this please give us some answers.

It was ok. It wasn't that bad. Nice to have her POV and see her fall in love. I wonder if there will be another book. Im not sure if it needs another one, but I'd read it.

My main problem with this book was that we really only needed the last page. It was the same story, but told in the perspective of Rhiannon, and I just don't think she added anything to the story that we couldn't have gleamed from A. I personally would have enjoyed it more if both of these books were combined and told from a dual perspective.

An unsatisfying retelling of the first book, from a different (and frequently unlikable) character.

I received an ARC of this at BookCon.
I had mixed feelings on this book-- it's nice, but at the same time it suffers from something a lot of David Levitahan's books do-- lack of plot. Also, I hate the insta-love trope. I read Every Day a long time ago, so I remembered the plot but not really the details. Although it is meant to be a companion, I think if you haven't read the other one, this book will come across fairly confusing and boring. If you've read the other, it'll feel repetitive.
All in all, David Levithan should have left it alone.

Rhiannon is so annoying, she gives off desperate and pathetic vibes and she can be a hypocrite at times. I don’t know what A sees in her, she spent the entire book chasing a guy who doesn’t love her and talk about it’s hard to explain why I love him. Girl you are in an abusive, toxic relationship. Stand up! Like everyone hates your man, do you not see that as a problem. Why does your friend have to tell you he’s a racist asshole. Honestly, it was so annoying hearing her side and it brought down the first books rating for me. This can’t be the girl A loves so much. Also, A is selfish too, they are just like I want a relationship with you over and over again, but not thinking about how hard it’s going to make this girls life and yet they keep pushing. It just sounded very delusional of them to be like “yeah it could work”, but it really can’t and that’s why the original book left with them finally coming to realize that.
