Someday

Whether it is the last in the series or not, it wrapped up the story nicely. Great characters and plot with some deep topics of love, personality, self, body and sexual identity in a nice consumable YA format.

After Rhiannon and A fall in love, they have to figure out how to make their very different lives work together. Living without each other wasn’t an option, but neither was having a traditional relationship.In addition to figuring out their “whatever this is,” A also needed to meet with X, the only other one like him. They examine the possibility of having a life that consists of more than just one day and its fairness to the host.There are several great quotes on love in this book, good discussions about right and wrong, and fairness. It’s not often that a non-storybook ending is actually satisfying, but David Levithan did a wonderful job bringing this series to a close.

One sort of expects a series or trilogy of novels to kind of peter out by the third book, becoming largely filler or losing their impact. Thankfully, I found all of the novels in this series to be intriguing and touching. The protagonist, A, has a challenging life - or rather, lives - to make her/his way through, changing bodies every night. The differing perspectives this character must see the world through is intriguing, and often heartbreaking. With the addition of a villain who lives lives in the same way - albeit with far fewer ethical standards - the twist becomes even more deeply a moral decision of how one should live one's life. A lesson for us all!

I'll admit that this book didn't have exactly the plot I expected, but I was surprised in good ways. The ending of Every Day requires certain things to happen to bring the characters back together, and the ride there was stressful but good. I thought the questions I was left with from the first book were answered to some extent, but with space for me to imagine/wonder/speculate. All the characters are growing, and as always, Levithan's writing style is peaceful but packs a punch at the same time. 10/10 will definitely read again.

such a good read and addition to the Everyday series I was captivated by every chapter i was also interested in the side charters and wish they got more spotlight but it was nice the way he wrote it because by the end it felt like it was written the way life goes, sometimes you see pieces of everyone lives by passing them in the street but you dont always get to see their entire life up unill that point just that one piece of it. I recommend for those who have read the first book!!

I wasn't a fan of books, the first book that I really read was "Every day", curiosity brought me to "Another Day" which is the other side of one's thought. "Someday" is more of ... the combination out of these two, reading it makes you feel like you shouldn't stop reading because there will be something. A book could change someone's perspective on reading, I can't guarantee that an author can satisfy everyone, but there are many more masterpieces from David Levithan, hope people will enjoy it.

If I could give this book a thousand stars, I would. I mean, I knew from moment zero this book would wreck me (and I wasn't wrong. Oh, not at all) but I didn't expect it'd wreck me like this.All the love, all the stars and all the tears to this book and its amazing characters and plot and world-building and raw honesty.

I know this book won't be for some people, and that's okay. I don't think I'll ever be ready to leave this story behind and I'll love any continuation because I love the characters and the theme. The journey of finding out how to love someone who constantly changes and how that can affect so many people. Levithan's writing is easy to read in one sitting.

Actual rating 3.75 stars.I loved the themes and philosophy ‘Someday’ forces you to think about.There are a lot of perspectives in this novel, but it stays mostly focused on A, Rhiannon, X, and Nathan. I’m not sure if that’s the reason if felt slow with pacing (especially in the first half of the novel), or the amount of information needed to explore the themes of the novel, and while I enjoyed the head-jumping, I’m feeling like it wasn’t really all that necessary to the story. It left ‘Someday’ feeling bulky.We get glimpses into other body jumpers – but I have to ask from a reader’s point of view, getting invested in these characters, what was the point? Yes, it goes to establish some evidence of others like A, and reinforce the good and bad choices we make – but I was left with the start of a story… and then nothing.So too was the concept of A discovering others out there like them. Learning about their condition, the mythology, their origin. I also wondered about A and X’s theory that they are born normally and simply jump to another body after the first day... does the baby then die – it would be soulless right? I hurts my brain. I am still wishing for more exploration into A’s condition and for there to be a connection to some sort of community. Also, for a more solid answer to what A and Rhiannon’s relationship is going to be like into the future. It’s touched on briefly as a concept, and we get different ideas of what it could be like through the experiences of other body jumpers – but it’s not an answer.It feels like there is at least another sequel to explore A’s existence and a happily ever after yet.One thing that did stand out to me in ‘Someday’ that was missing – both ‘Every Day’ and ‘Another Day’ also had ties with family (Rhiannon’s) and A beginning to explore the boundaries of his existence. We have those dismissed in this third novel of the franchise and it left me with a feeling of being somewhat untethered. Was it intentional to highlight the loneliness A was experiencing? It left Rhiannon not as complex as she was in the previous two novels.Loved the development of Nathan. His perspective felt like it represented one of acceptance. Of societies acceptance. Of how many of the LGBTQIA+ community shape their own family. But again in the previous novels we see him struggling with questions around faith and they seemed to have been abandoned in ‘Someday.’X/Xenon/Poole, although clearly making some harmful choices, does raise the issue as to when are you able to look after yourself, chase your own needs and wants: and is that even possible for beings like X and A? It was something I would have loved to seen explored (or even discussed further. It felt like we suddenly humanise X, get a brief discussion and then it was all over.I’m really hoping we get another instalment to tackle issues like family (biological or community made), faith, self-care, and ambition; along with the mythology around A and his kind. See him finding a place where he fits.Discussing the themes of this series with a few friends, we thought it was a nice analogy to those with disassociation disorders. A friend who has undergone gender confirmation surgery, but was born intersex, said having lived through the experience of people perceiving you as one gender and then another – almost like different people in different bodies was very similar to A’s experience. You perceive things differently, there are different physical sensations and others relate to you differently. I think it’s marvellous that we can have discussions like this, brought up from popular YA novels; it’s not something that I would have been exposed to in my youth. We are getting a language and awareness of the human condition through novels like ‘Someday.’I definitely did not predict what was going to happen in ‘Someday’ at all. As I eluded to I previously, I was expecting quite a different story. The themes were different to those tackled in the prequels, and I still got no resolution to what I wanted after reading ‘Every Day’ and ‘Another Day.’ I really enjoyed the tension and direction of the plot, but felt it could have been 100 pages shorter and told the same story.I think this is more a book for lovers of Levithan’s writing, those who loved ‘Every Day’ and are keen to continue with A and Rhiannon’s story, and those who enjoy queer literature, I’m on the fence if I’d recommend this to anyone outside those circles.

A great conclusion to an epic trilogy. Provocative, witty and life changing. A book every teen should read.No, every adult should read.

Ein großartiges Buch, ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Teil und wie es sich weiterentwickeln wird

It came and I am so excited to read it!!

Ein sehr wervolles Buch, bei dem das Menschsein über das Gendern hinausgeht.
