Recommenders:
"This is a novel of innocent and honest love. It shows that selfless love can override everything and cross all boundaries. Nothing else matters, only pure inner human values."
School Library Journal
"A beautifully structured, astonishing story that introduces readers deeply into the lives of the main characters. Although Levithan sees it as a twin book of After the Sun, it is still a unique, deeply moving story."
Booklist
“Waking up in a different body every day can't be easy, just like it's not easy for anyone trying to track down whoever is doing it. It's an exciting journey that sheds light on serious social and human moments."
Kirkus Reviews
“This novel focuses on relationships and drama. The theme, setting, and tone perfectly match David Levithan's dreamy, star-crossing characters and ideas.”
