Klappentext zu „Another Day “
A New York Times BestsellerA girl falls in love with someone who wakes up in a different body each morning in this enthralling and poignant follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Every Day.
David Levithan (co-author of Will Grayson, Will Grayson with John Green) 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.
And don't miss the Every Day major motion picture - coming to theaters February 23, 2018!
PRAISE FOR ANOTHER DAY:
"It's a tricky concept, but in Levithan's hands it works." -EW.com
"[A] richly developed story that takes readers deep into its co-protagonists' 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." -Booklist, Starred
PRAISE FOR EVERY DAY:
"A story that is always alluring, oftentimes humorous and much like love itself-splendorous." -Los Angeles Times
Lese-Probe zu „Another Day “
Chapter OneI 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, I don t appreciate it. If this is payback for what I said last night, I want it over with.
Are you mad at me? I ask, not sure I want to know the answer.
And he goes, No. I m not mad at you at all.
