Another Day

Another Day follows Rhiannon, a high school student in a complicated relationship with her boyfriend Justin. When Justin suddenly acts different one day and takes her on an unexpected beach trip, Rhiannon experiences a perfect day that seems too good to be true. The story explores an impossible romance that challenges the boundaries of identity, body, and soul. Each day brings new revelations as Rhiannon tries to understand why Justin has changed and what it means for their relationship. This companion novel to Every Day shows the other side of an extraordinary love story, revealing how bewildering and transformative it can be when the ordinary rules of relationships no longer apply. Through Rhiannon's perspective, readers witness the effects of an inexplicable situation on a practical, grounded teenager. The novel examines profound questions about the nature of love, identity, and connection - whether who we are exists separately from our physical form, and what makes someone fundamentally themselves.
