"Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl"
The protagonist is named A. A lives different lives every day, inhabiting the body of a random sixteen year old teenagers. A was okay with that and the everyday guidelines while inside the host: Do not interfere. Avoid being noticed. Always stay within the comfort zone of the inhabited body.DO NOT GET ATTACHED. A was contented with all the precariousness and loneliness until A inhabited the body of Justin and met Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon. A fell in love and rules no longer apply because now A wants someone constant to love.
I liked it, in a satisfactory level. I somehow felt A's feelings toward Rhiannon was not developed to be fully categorized as "love". Was that love at first sight? Suddenly A's in love and his constant yearning to be with her made him a creep who stalks? humbug! maybe I'm a scrooge. The stalking part is overrated. na-ah. Not romantic.
Anyway, what got me hooked was my curiosity over A's being. Is he a lost soul? a wandering spirit? or a cosmic joke? Every revelation of his characteristic fuels more question. What if the host died while he is inhabiting the body? Does he grow old or is he forever sixteen? Is A genderless or bisexual?
Nonetheless, I like A's musings about life and existence. How nothing is constant bit life's precariousness.
