I like Every Day. 
 Alexander Yin, you just saved me from hating this book. You are the only part worth remembering. 
 Could it be that I am getting over my fandom over David Levithan? Because I just didn't like Every Day. It pains me to rate this a 2, but because of Alexander (thank goodness), I managed to up my rating just a bit (even though I feel it's a generous one). 
 I started reading last February, put Temple (view spoiler)[the iPad (hide spoiler)] down, and read other books. I promised that I would finish it, so I borrowed Tina's paperback, thinking this would push me to read on. It took me months before I grudgingly read the rest of A's story. In the end, I was still bored. I could not get myself to be compassionate about A's situation. Sorry man, it's just that, you're so boring to read. sleepy-boring. 
 Everything about A was forgettable. I cannot push myself to like him, or even sympathize over his tortured so-called life. And his obsession with Rhiannon (yes I will call it that) was not something that I will romanticize. Was it love? Or was it just a recognition of what his life might've been should he ever be normal? 
 I think the paranormal theme was the flop for me. Or I might be just familiar with David Levithan's contemporary books. Or maybe, Every Day is just flat-out jibberish nonsense. 
 When A is living Alexander's life for a day, it was the only good thing that livened up my reading. 
 Every Day. Sigh. How can you ruin my perfect record of loving David Levithan's works? 
 2.5/5

 Picked this up last February, then put it down days later. 
 So here's my second attempt to finish this slap-me-good-so-I-can-wake-up-because-this-is-so-darn-boring book. 
 (Let me like this, please. *fingers crossed*)
