NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Celebrate all the ways love makes us who we are with this enthralling and poignant follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Every Day—now a major motion picture.
David Levithan turns his New York Times bestseller Every Day on its head by flipping perspectives in this exploration of love and how it can change you.
Every day is the same for Rhiannon. She has accepted her life, convinced herself that she deserves her distant, temperamental boyfriend, Justin, even established guidelines by which to live: Don’t be too needy. Avoid upsetting him. Never get your hopes up.
Until the morning everything changes. Justin seems to see her, to want to be with her for the first time, and they share a perfect day—a perfect day Justin doesn’t remember the next morning. Confused, depressed, and desperate for another day as great as that one, Rhiannon starts questioning everything. Then, one day, a stranger tells her that the Justin she spent that day with, the one who made her feel like a real person . . . wasn’t Justin at all.

Excerpts-
From the book
Chapter One
I watch his car as it pulls into the parking lot. I watch him get out of it. I am in the corner of his eye, moving toward its center—but he isn’t looking for me. He’s heading into school without noticing I’m right here. I could call out for him, but he doesn’t like that. He says it’s something needy girls do, always calling out to their boyfriends.
It hurts that I can be so full of him while he’s so empty of me.
I wonder if last night is the reason he isn’t looking for me. I wonder if our fight is still happening. Like most of our fights, it’s about something stupid, with other non-stupid things right underneath. All I did was ask him if he wanted to go to Steve’s party on Saturday. That was it. And he asked me why, on Sunday night, I was already asking him about Saturday. He said I’m always doing this, trying to pin him down, as if he won’t want to be with me if I don’t ask him about it months ahead of time. I told him it wasn’t my fault he’s always afraid of plans, afraid of figuring out what’s next.
Mistake. Calling him afraid was a big mistake. That’s probably the only word he heard.
“You have no idea what you’re talking about,” he said.
“I was talking about a party at Steve’s house on Saturday,” I told him, my voice way too upset for either of us. “That’s all.”
But that’s not all. Justin loves me and hates me as much as I love him and hate him. I know that. We each have our triggers, and we should never reach in to pull them. But sometimes we can’t help ourselves. We know each other too well, but never well enough.
I am in love with someone who’s afraid of the future. And, like a fool, I keep bringing it up.
I follow him. Of course I do. Only a needy girl would be mad at her boyfriend because he didn’t notice her in a parking lot.
As I’m walking to his locker, I wonder which Justin I’ll find there. It probably won’t be Sweet Justin, because it’s rare for Sweet Justin to show up at school. And hopefully it won’t be Angry Justin, because I haven’t done anything that wrong, I don’t think. I’m hoping for Chill Justin, because I like Chill Justin. When he’s around, we can all calm down.
I stand there as he takes his books out of his locker. I look at the back of his neck because I am in love with the back of his neck. There is something so physical about it, something that makes me want to lean over and kiss it.
Finally, he looks at me. I can’t read his expression, not right away. It’s like he’s trying to figure me out at the same time I’m trying to figure him out. I think maybe this is a good sign, because maybe it means he’s worried about me. Or it’s a bad sign, because he doesn’t understand why I’m here.
“Hey,” he says.
“Hey,” I say back.
There’s something really intense about the way he’s looking at me. I’m sure he’s finding something wrong. There’s always something wrong for him to find.
But he doesn’t say anything. Which is weird. Then, even weirder, he asks me, “Are you okay?”
I must look really pathetic if he’s asking me that.
“Sure,” I tell him. Because I don’t know what the answer is supposed to be. I am not okay—that’s actually the answer. But it’s not the right answer to say to him. I know that much.
If this is some kind of trap,...

Reviews-
Starred review from June 1, 2015 Grades 9-12 *Starred Review* Rhiannon has a love-hate relationship with her acerbic boyfriend, Justin. Yet one wonderful day, it's all about love between them, and hate isn't even a blip on the horizon. But then she meets a stranger who explains whathowever improbablehas happened to make that one day so perfect. The stranger is A from Levithan's earlier novel Every Day (2012), the boy who inhabits a different body and persona each day. He has fallen in love with Rhiannon, who gradually begins to return his feelings. But how, given A's condition of being, can they ever be together? What kind of future can they have? And how does Justin fit in? Everything about relationships is examined in this thoughtful, insightful novel of ideas and identities. While this could have been nothing but an offbeat premise, it is so much morea richly developed story that takes readers deep into its coprotagonists' beings. Though Levithan considers this to be the earlier novel's twin, it has a separate, deeply satisfying identity and can be read on its own. Readers will be grateful for that while hoping to hear more about Rhiannon and A, for whom they will surely have developed a deep affection. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: A sequel to the best-selling Every Day will already be on to-buy and to-read lists; the publisher's extensive promotional plan will push it to the top.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
July 1, 2015 In Every Day (rev. 11/12), we heard from A, a gender-neutral sixteen-year-old character who wakes up in a different body each morning. As readers may recall, the day A inhabited Justin, s/he fell in love with Justin's girlfriend Rhiannon and tried to pursue a relationship with her, which was made complicated by A's constantly changing form. Another Day relates the same events, but from Rhiannon's point of view. A already understood (and described, in Every Day) how strange their encounters must be for Rhiannon, so much of what Rhiannon shares in her narration will be unsurprising to those who've read that book. But Another Day gives us a few insights into Rhiannon's motivations, particularly into why she stays as long as she does with the aloof Justin, whose emotional needs she understands better than most people do. When A inhabits the suicidal Kelsea, Rhiannon thinks, This is the girl I'd be if I hadn't met Justin; she mentioned her past suicidal thoughts briefly to A in Every Day, but it's only here that we learn they were more than fleeting ideas. That glimpse into Rhiannon's past awakens sympathy and deepens Another Day's exploration of one young woman's identity and place in the world. Rhiannon's sense of devotion leads to an ending that's more unsettled than the ending was from A's point of view. Could a (chronological) sequel be in the works? shoshana flax
