But anyways, I think it's my new favorite book for now. Basically, the whole story is written in somewhat of a diary format, yet without all the formalities. It's told from the view of A, this sort of shape shifting man who really questions identity. One day, he takes on the body of Justin and meets this angel called Rhiannon. First time he sees her, WHAM, love at first sight.
Soon, he gets addicted to seeing her. In the form of all these people he takes over, he searches for her and actually even manages to date her! But one unfortunate accident left one of the "victims" aware of his presence. And ever since, A is also being hunted down.
It's a really intriguing idea really. I love how Mr David nicely phrases all his words. Like you can really feel how lonely and desperate A really is. How tough his life has been. How tough it's about to be. How tough it is to be dating a girl and expecting her to just "get used to it".
I can't really say anymore other than the fact that it is truly an amazing book. It's made it's way to my favorites book shelf now. Well, hope you enjoy the book as much as I do. And tell me your reaction to the shitty ending!
P.S. I must get my hands on Will Grayson. It's this collab between David Levithan and John Green. Oh, and I'll probably post a review or just thoughts on Looking for Alaska. Because that was the only book by John Green that I truly truly loved.
