I’ve read some David Levithan already (Love is the Higher Law, and Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares, co-written with Rachel Cohn), and he’s one of those authors whose works I’m always on the lookout for when I’m at the library. I picked this one up the other day and dug in.Here is the Kobo summary: In...
This book is one of Levithan's experiments that didn't work for me. The characters are flat. The story is uninteresting. The format of the book (all the strike throughs) added nothing.
First of all I want to say absolutely brilliant concept. I have never ever read anything so mind babbling in a long time. Every You, Every me will have you guessing up until the very end. I was completing engrossed in the story line. I could not keep from turning the next page and then going back. O...
Two words: teen angst! And how does one evoke more teen angst? Strike through wording!Evan has lost his best friend, Ariel, but how? Readers are not meant to discover a solid explanation until the end. In the mean time, Evan is haunted by her through memories and his own guilt for actions that resul...
This is a photo-journalistic novel about a teenage boy dealing with the guilt and trauma of the memories of the last day spent with his best friend. The photos in the novel are pictures that were left for him by a mysterious source, reminding him of that day and the difficult choice he made.Besides...
I actually don't know how I felt about this book. It might be just because I'm used to how all of David Levithan's other books are that I wasn't actually expecting what was happening to happen (I actually hadn't read at all what the book was about before reading it). I loved though how in the book i...
I am on the fence with Every You, Every Me. It was a quick read and definitely intriguing. However, I was left with a lot of anxiety after I was done. Evan and Jack were friends with Ariel. She was manic, depressed, schizophrenic...something. At the beginning of the story we know something bad ...
I’ve heard nothing but good things about David Levithan’s books, and I was excited to finally read one. I’ve heard from a few different sources that this book wasn’t as good as his other books, but I absolutely loved it, so now I feel like I need to move his others up the TBR pile!One thing in parti...
Ariel is mysterious gone from Evan's life and in her place are random photographs left behind for Evan. Except the photos are not so random since they seem to be taken at the same spot Evan is standing when he finds them. Each picture is a clue to help Evan unravel the mystery of Ariel's disappearan...
Every You, Every Me is an artistic endeavor that falls short. The idea of basing a story on random photos is intriguing and I was rooting for it to be an inspiring hit, but sadly I did not care very much for this work by David Levithan. Although I'm a fan of previous stories by the author, Every Yo...
