It is a well known fact that when love happens, there will be tears. They come when the one you so love betrays you. And that's exactly what happened in Every Day by David Levithan.
The book chronicles the story of A, who is in a different body every day. This cycle continues perpetually until one day, A wakes in the body of a teen named Justin, and falls in love with his girlfriend, Rhiannon. But as A loves her more and more, he starts to slip away from his morality. A theme of this book is that you cannot let your attachment to true live detach yourself from everything else.
As seen in the beginning of this story, A laments about the perpetual cycle of his life (if you can call it that) and longs for a life, a family, a body of his own. But when he meets Rhiannon, his life takes on a new meaning. Now A has a clear objective, a goal to give him something to live for. But in order to meet this goal of true love, he begins to sacrifice the well-being of others.
Although love might provide A with a goal, this is not enough for him. He wants answers as to how he is, why he is and where he came from. And instead of finding them by actively engaging in human life, he lashes out on the world violently. He yearns for death, burying all in his path on the road to true love. And ultimately, Rhiannon has to make the disheartening choice of moving on.
Over the course of this book, we can see how A takes his love and trust for granted, and how Rhiannon journeys through the path of love and finds that it comes to an end someday.
